ORGANISATIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
This post is 40-hours per week to provide the successful applicant with expertise in cutting edge treatment modalities including clinical service, research, and education, with dedicated mentorship from expert consultants in the field.
During the 12-month fellowship, you will become competent using PBT in treatment management of common tumour subsites as Head & Neck, CNS, Paediatrics, Sarcoma, Thoracic, Lymphoma, Breast, and Upper GIT, as well as complex and rare tumours. Through clinical rotations you will develop expertise in patient selection, tumour delineation, treatment planning and delivery for PBT, including experience in paediatric conventional radiation therapy.
You will also support ongoing multi-centre clinical trials and evaluative commissioning proton projects, investigating the role of proton therapy.
Alongside your clinical responsibilities, you will have dedicated time for research tailored to your areas of interest.
