Radiotherapy UK: Fighting for Fair Access

Impact report coverWe are the only national charity dedicated to ensuring every UK cancer patient gets the radiotherapy they need to live longer and better.

Our Mission: To break down barriers to radiotherapy and tackle the inequalities faced by cancer patients across the UK.

Despite being the sixth wealthiest nation, UK cancer patients wait longer for treatment and have poorer survival rates compared to similar countries. Underinvestment in radiotherapy is a major issue. While we support new research, it’s crucial to invest in the effective treatments we already have.
