Radiotherapy Welcome Evenings

About the Radiotherapy Welcome Evenings

The welcome evenings are run on a volunteer basis where you will be given the opportunity to meet with radiation therapists that will be giving you your daily treatment and also to meet with one of the radiotherapy nurses that works in the nurses’ station in the radiotherapy department.

A short introductory talk explaining what radiotherapy is, when and how it is used will be given.

You will then be taken on a tour of the radiotherapy department, including treatment machines.

You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have regarding your radiotherapy treatment at any stage throughout the tour.

Tea and Coffee is provided afterwards where you can ask questions on a one to one basis if you wish.
