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.

This meeting is an update by recognised experts highlighting advances of nuclear medicine imaging and radio-isotope targeted therapies i.e. theranostics in cancer. Particularly exciting are the developments in prostate and potentially breast and renal cancers and the meeting includes a presentation of the pipe-line of new therapies. There will also be a dedicated session to the current and future placement of selective internal radiotherapy.

Challenges and Opportunities within Practical small field Date: Thursday 9th May 2019 - Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham
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.

The Art and Science of Radiation Protection During SRP's 2018 Annual Conference, it was stated that ‘Radiation Protection (RP) decisions should not be solely based on the science’ and it has been quoted that "RP is a Dark Art".
SRP's Charter states the object of The Society is to 'Promote the science and art of RP and allied fields for the public benefit'. This conference intends to address this theme with presentations from speakers and posters, both invited and submitted papers, covering all aspects of RP and allied fields, examining the application and communication of the art and science of RP. In support of this, we will also be running workshops on SRP Uncertainty, Soft Skills for Communicating Risk and ALARP.
IRMF is taking place at The Centre, Birchwood Park in Warrington. Programme of the day will be released shortly.
More information about this event will be released shortly.
We are welcoming abstract submissions for inclusion in the 2019 programme. This is your opportunity to report on the innovative work you have been doing, whether it is policy, practice, education, current research, inter-professional or inter-agency working in breast cancer imaging.
The Programme Committee will be offering the opportunity to present in a facilitated poster discussion session. The posters can be viewed by attendees during the conference, at designated times in the programme.
We are delighted to invite companies with an interest in the field of breast cancer imaging to attend the ICCBI as exhibitors and sponsors by exploring the sponsorship and exhibition opportunities available in this prospectus which can be found on the website.
The Newcastle Radiation Protection Supervisors’
Scope: This is a one/two day course for healthcare professionals. It provides both introductory and advanced training in the principles and practice of radiation safety within an x-ray, nuclear medicine or radiotherapy environment. The full two day course supports a radiation protection supervisor (RPS) new to that role, whereas a more experienced RPS wishing to update his/her knowledge would attend on the second day. Syllabus: This course has been updated to reflect the new ionising radiations regulations, having been developed with input from all available guidance, and has been accredited by the SCoR as part of its “CPD-now” scheme. The format of this course and the venue selected are intended to facilitate discussion and debate amongst all those present. A certificate of attendance is provided. Teaching staff: The course is presented by a small team of experienced radiation safety professionals all of whom have RPA and MPE accreditation.
