Department Of Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is at the core of the clinical service provided for cancer patients in St. Luke's.

The Radiotherapy Department provides radiation treatment to patients with a variety of malignant diseases.

Radiotherapy is a multidisciplinary specialty, not only involving complex equipment and procedures, but many separate intensive stages and processes which are necessary to progress a patient from the initial clinical decision to receive treatment, through to the treatment delivery itself and subsequent follow up. It is not therefore based on technology alone but on providing quality care and support for patients, throughout their treatment programme.

Radiation Therapists are core to the delivery of Radiotherapy in a safe and effective manner. It is the prime focus at St. Luke's Hospital to meet the individual needs of patients right throughout their treatment journey. In the Radiotherapy Department the Radiation Therapists combine their tradition of clinical expertise with close attention to each individual patient on a daily basis at each treatment.
