Service Overview

We offer a contemporary Radiotherapy Service and have implemented several key service improvements including AI auto‑contouring and surface‑guided radiotherapy (SGRT).

We have many exciting projects in the pipeline including moving our patient management system and treatment planning system to the cloud and several initiatives to improve both the efficiency and quality of our processes and treatments (e.g. RapidPlan, Scripting, Transit Dosimetry, QMS, QC management systems, 3D printing). We have a growing SABR program and are committed to improving the access to these techniques for all our patients.

Responsibilities

• Support treatment planning and mould room services.

• Support future developments of the department, including quality/service and process improvement initiatives, and participate in appropriate CPD/training.

Equipment and Technology

The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital is a fully‑networked Varian department with three TrueBeam linear accelerators equipped with OBI, RapidArc, respiratory gating, SGRT and 6‑dof couches. We have a Canon Exceed Large Bore CT scanner with Varian RGSC and use the Eclipse TPS. We use the Limbus AI auto‑contouring tool and perform secondary dose calculations using RadCalc.
