What is this course?
Radiotherapy Technology is an allied course that gets up on board the medical profession. Many people diagnosed with cancer will have radiotherapy as part of their cancer treatment. Research shows that at least one in two people recently diagnosed with cancer would benefit from radiotherapy. Radiotherapy needs specially trained staff and takes up a lot of space. For these reasons, it's usually given in a large hospital or at a treatment clinic. A radiotherapy Technologist helps in cancer treatment. |
