We have also added a third stream of presentations, which will attract an even wider range of top health professionals and decision makers.

There is also an informal evening event including welcome drinks and a three-course dinner. This multidisciplinary event will appeal to anyone within radiology, radiation oncology and the underlying sciences, including radiologists, physicists, radiology managers, radiographers, oncologists, clinical scientists, physicians, radiation protection advisers and supervisors.
