A public consultation on changes to radiotherapy services in England is now open, running until 24 January 2018.
This is your chance to comment on the ‘big picture’ of radiotherapy service change, the details of which will then be worked out locally and regionally.  The main points of the consultation are:
 

• Hospitals with radiotherapy services will operate in networks to share their expertise
• Proposed improved access to research and clinical trials
• Proposed improved access to information and support for patients
• Super-specialist (called ‘sub-specialist’) treatment & care for those with rarer cancers
• Radiotherapy closer to home for the majority
• Networking and reorganisation of radiotherapy workforce so that expertise can be shared

You may contact the organisers of the consultation with any queries, or to request a speaker for public events. The email address for this is: england.npoc-cancer@nhs.net.
