The Oncology department is a well-equipped centre treating patients from across East London and Essex, committed to introducing the latest treatment techniques and equipment.

The Edge is our stereotactic machine, with HDMLC, 4D-CBCT, 6 DoF couch, and Hyper Arc-enabled. Aria is cloud-based, hosted by Varian. Treatment planning is done on Eclipse 17 (with Rapid Plan and MCO licences) and in Ethos, with auto-contouring on Limbus. The department fully supports a wide range of clinical trials, and has an excellent selection of QA devices and software. Recent developments include a new Siemens go. Sim CT scanner, the introduction of HyperSight on Ethos and Identify SGRT on all linacs. Our current commissioned stereotactic treatments are lung, bone (non-spine), nodes, adrenal nodes, spine, and intra-cranial SRS. A full linac refresh is due in 2027. Flexible working is available although working on-site full-time is required for at least the first three months.
We will be holding in-person interviews at Queen's Hospital on August 20th.Interested candidates are strongly encouraged to get in touch: please contact Matthew Ulewich (matthew.ulewich@nhs.net)

About #CatchUpWithCancer
1 in 4 people will need radiotherapy at some point in their life. Not everyone receives the best treatment for their cancer because advanced radiotherapy techniques are currently restricted. Research shows that nearly 24,000 patients are missing out on vital radiotherapy every year. This needs to change. We are campaigning for increased funding and better organisation of radiotherapy. Support our campaign by emailing your MP - this letter will ask them to ensure that every patient gets the best radiotherapy treatment for their cancer, no matter where they live.
