The AXREM team will launch an updated manifesto in Parliament today, an important piece of work welcomed by Radiotherapy UK.
AXREM is the UK trade association representing the interests of suppliers of diagnostic medical imaging, radiotherapy, healthcare IT and care equipment including patient monitoring in the UK.
AXREM statement:
“Our group is comprised of most of the industry supply companies. AXREM members supply the majority of diagnostic medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment installed in UK hospitals. In doing so, our member companies and their employees work side by side with Radiologists, Radiographers and Practitioners, Oncologists and a wide range of healthcare professionals in delivering healthcare to patients using our technologies.
“Technology is moving fast. The way we target and deliver radiotherapy treatment to tumours is changing, positively impacting the patient experience and overall outcomes. These advancements in delivery have increased cure rates with fewer side effects and enabled shorter treatment courses effectively delivered over just a few days. New software and hardware tools for planning, monitoring motion, adapting, and delivering patient treatment continue to raise the bar in what can be achieved.
“Radiotherapy, as a primary treatment or when combined with surgery, chemotherapy or immunotherapy, has the potential to improve cancer outcomes.”
