Yasmeen Malik

Programme Director - Radiotherapy and Oncology
I am the Programme Director for Radiotherapy & Oncology, based at St George's, University of London - the UK’s specialist health university.
Centre for Allied Health

I am the Programme Director for the Radiotherapy & Oncology Programme; and Senior Lecturer and Admission Lead.  I am responsible for managing the quality of the programme, student experience, teaching & learning, and recruitment.

I teach across the programme with particular emphasis on science and technology, radiotherapy dosimetry and radiotherapy treatment planning. 

My professional practice has afforded me a diverse range of experiences, allowing me to work in clinical, academic, and education management.  

I have had the privilege of working in the Radiotherapy department in the NHS at Band 8A (Supt.).  In this capacity, I have been the Senior Team Lead in Radiotherapy CT-Sim Planning, Radiotherapy-Led Image Verification, and Radiotherapy Treatment Delivery.  Additionally, I held the position of Clinical Learning Facilitator (NHS Band 8A).  I then moved into a University role as a Senior Lecturer, and then to an Education Manager role (NHS Band 8B) in a Breast Screening Centre.  I returned to an academic role as a Senior Lecturer at St George's in 2019.  In 2021, I became the Undergraduate Programme Director.   

I recommend studying Radiotherapy and Oncology.  The future career prospects are excellent with opportunities to advance your career at Advanced and Consultant Level Practice.  

I believe in supporting all students, regardless of background or circumstance, to achieve their full potential.
