The IOP’s Medical Physics Group welcomes you to its 6th annual scientific and networking meeting, which aims to bring together people from all areas of Medical Physics and discuss potential collaborations. Our speakers will discuss the translation of new innovative development in Medical Physics into clinical practice and the processes involved in bringing new technology into clinical use.
This year, the meeting will be held at the UK’s National Metrology Institute, with an exciting afternoon consisting of a series of lab tours with research scientists in the fields of ultrasound, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine. The day will be filled with opportunities to network and exchange ideas between participants.
The fifth Proton Physics Research and Implementation Group (PPRIG) workshop National Physical Laboratory Thursday 7th and Friday 8th February, 2019
This 3 day course is designed to help clinicians, physicists and radiographers develop programmes for the implementation of image guided radiotherapy. The course has been awarded 19 RCR Category I CPD credits under The Royal College of Radiologists CPD scheme. The curriculum covers many practical aspects and includes hands - on experience of volume and OAR localisation and definition, contouring, planning techniques, immobilization and patient set up image verification. Plus guidance for developing protocols for outlining, and sessions on QA and imaging, covering pre-treatment and on treatment procedures - from the TPS to the linac and patient. We recommend a team of oncologist, physicist and radiographer from the same centre attend together. Included in the cost of the course is a set of lecture notes, a CD of the presentations, lunches, refreshments and a course evening meal.
This event will provide an update on prostate, thyroid and neuroendocrine tumors. We are also offering 20% off this event until 31 July when using ‘SUMMER18’ at checkout.
Godfrey Hounsfield proved that the boy from the farm could do anything. With limited formal education, working with restricted resources and with limited support he proved the concept that became the CT scanner. Little could he have dreamt of the impact that this would have on medicine in the 2nd half of the 20th century. This is the story of a gentle genius from his childhood on a farm to the impact of his invention the CT scanner on the world of medical diagnosis and patient management. Admission is free but tickets are required for entry. Please contact Dr Arpan K Banerjee at arpankb007@gmail.com by February 12th 2019. A retiring collection will be taken with a suggested donation of £5.

Challenges and Opportunities within Practical small field Dosimetry
This workshop aims to bring together experts in small field radiotherapy dosimetry to discuss recent innovations, challenges and opportunities for advancing practical small field dosimetry measurements. This will be a great opportunity to learn and network with experts in stereotactic dosimetry at an interactive workshop based event. The day will explore the challenges faced when performing quality assurance measurements to verify complex, high dose gradient stereotactic radiotherapy treatment plans. We will cover the current protocols for reference dosimetry, and UK audits for stereotactic delivery QA.
