Therapeutic Radiographers are highly skilled, caring professionals who play an essential role in the treatment of patients with cancer. They deliver radiotherapy treatment using state-of-the-art equipment.
Radiotherapy Radiographers work as part of the health care team and are involved in making decisions about radiotherapy patient management. They provide care and support to patients and their families throughout the cancer journey.
