Course overview

Therapeutic radiographers are responsible for the safe and accurate planning and delivery of radiotherapy to patients with cancer, a role that is varied and demanding. They prepare patients by imaging to locate the tumour (usually with CT); then perform a range of complex dose calculations. They target the tumour with millimetre accuracy using highly complex equipment and techniques to deliver the maximum dose to the tumour and the minimum possible dose to the normal anatomy surrounding it. This technical expertise is combined with a determination to prioritise the physical and emotional welfare of the patient.

If you are shortlisted by SGUL you will be invited to an interview. This will normally be 15 minutes long in front of a panel of two (usually an academic and a clinician). You must have work experience in a medical or health-related field and be able to demonstrate a broad awareness and understanding of the scope of the role of the radiographer and the radiography profession.

This course is based at St George’s, Kingston University and on clinical placement. The course is offered by the joint Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences, a partnership between St George’s and Kingston University. Visit Kingston’s School of Radiography pages.
