This post will be primarily based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. Musgrove Park Hospital provides a cutting-edge radiotherapy service for Taunton and surrounding area, including an established SABR programme and SGRT.

We have MVision auto-contouring software and are in the process of commissioning the RayStation treatment planning system.

The Southwest has an excellent training network, providing opportunities for learning, support, and socialising throughout the training experience.
