The long-awaited NHS workforce plan has been announced. When details follow we will look at it in depth and respond on if and how it impacts our medical physics and clinical engineering workforce, which urgently needs action.

Well said ⁦@RichardEvans40⁩ ‘Demanding that exhausted radiographers and others work unprofessionally and unsafely strikes at the heart of the values that keep the NHS afloat ⁦@SCoRMembers⁩

New @LeedsHospitals pathology lab starting to take shape now.

[LeedsCancerCentre @Leeds_Cancer]

Our 12th VersaHD linac went clinical on Friday. For the first time in our history we have 12 matched linear accelerators in Leeds. @LeedsHospitals @Elekta

[LeedsCancerCentre @Leeds_Cancer]

Work starts today on our new MR simulation suite. Looking forward to seeing the progress over the coming months. @LeedsHospitals @LDShospcharity @philipshealthuk

[LeedsCancerCentre @Leeds_Cancer]

The last of our original linacs is being removed today. LA02 is being replaced by our 12th @Elekta VersaHD. Linac 2 started life as a research platform and was used to deliver the first clinical treatment using the Agility collimator @Leeds_Cancer

[Yorkshire Cancer Research @yorkshirecancer]

Earlier this month, Arthur, a sculpture created by Jill Atley, found a permanent home at Castle Hill Hospital.

Jill sadly passed away from cancer, and it was her final wish for Arthur to be placed at the hospital, bringing comfort to those who visit 💙

#Mythbusting on #WorldRadiographyDay!

Did you know that #radiotherapy is a mostly painless treatment? The linac machine never touches the body and you can leave straight after your treatment and carry on with your day.

Joyce (pictured left) is 97 and has been a volunteer in our Eastbourne shop for 37 years! She’s won one of our Flame of Hope Awards for her amazing dedication to volunteering, and all of the time she’s given in support of our research – thank you, Joyce! 🥳
