On 4th February 2018 (World Cancer Day), the Radiotherapy UK Champions Network was established to help the radiotherapy community share success stories, tackle issues and raise awareness of best practice in radiotherapy. We are a group of radiotherapy professionals representing NHS and Private Sector radiotherapy units in the UK, led by a steering group who formed the network.
These days we are known as the Ambassadors’ Network, and soon we will be
updating this page with load of ways to get involved.
How you can be involved
We are a small charity with a big mission: to raise the public image of radiotherapy, to show that it is a safe, accurate and effective treatment for cancer (and it’s cost effective too!). There are lots of ways you can get involved, from taking part in charity runs, to supporting patient advocacy… all you need is a little time and a shared goal to speak up for people with cancer and promote radiotherapy as a life-saving treatment.
Join or help out at a fun run
