Radiotherapy is one of the most cost effective cancer treatments whilst innovations least publicised. Nurses need to understand this treatment as well as be able to effectively manage radiotherapy acute and late effects. Nurses are needed in radiotherapy practice @DeborahWBruner1

Thank you @timfarron for raising the urgent cancer backlog & #CatchUpWithCancer with @sajidjavid
We urgently need a plan & funding to 'super boost' cancer services. And that must include cancer workforce & treatments, like radiotherapy, as well as important diagnostic capacity
