About the event

Join us in Poole for a special study event dedicated to advancing NHS staff’s practical knowledge of Surface Guided Radiation Therapy. There will be an emphasis on implementation within an NHS environment, including presentations on full clinical adoption across multiple indications and overall best practice. These will include information on an InBore solution for Halcyon and Ethos linear accelerators, tattooless radiotherapy, DIBH, SABR/SBRT, time-savings effiiciencies and more.

The day will be led by current NHS users, discussing the clinical and patient benefits of SGRT. There will also be an opportunity for hands-on learning and live clinical demonstrations at Poole Hospital.

The event will also feature a short presentation from Vision RT, the inventors of Surface Guided Radiation Therapy, on their future product roadmap.
