information VIDEOs

If you, or someone you know or care about, is coming for radiotherapy at one of our centres, our information videos  will provide useful information to help make informed choices about treatment and reassure you about what will happen when you come to the department. 


 We want to make sure patients, and their families and carers, have access to as much information as possible before they come for their first appointment.  



 We talked to patients about what information was important before and they told us things like how to get here, where to park and what happens if they were late were all really important, as well as what to expect during pre-treatment appointments and how radiotherapy is delivered.  


We hope you find the information useful.
