Additionally, the Trust is working closely with local charities to upgrade one of our Halcyon linacs so that adaptive radiotherapy can be delivered to the patients of Staffordshire through Varian’s Ethos Adaptive Therapy System. Plans are also in place for the expansion of our brachytherapy service to include prostate needle therapy.
Applicants should possess a good honours degree in physics with relevant postgraduate experience preferably including a higher degree.
