Radiotherapy Research and Innovation Showcase Event
On the 17th September 2025, the Innovation department hosted the Radiotherapy Research and Innovation Showcase Event, celebrating the fantastic project work made possible through charitable funding.
Through the generosity of supporters and the dedication of our researchers and project teams, the event highlighted how charitable funds, including the Advancing Radiotherapy Fund, the Lucas Fund, and the Probert Fund, have:
- Supported the development of advanced radiotherapy techniques that benefit patients across South Wales.
- Strengthened the infrastructure to deliver radiotherapy research.
- Enabled vital head and neck cancer research with the potential to improve patient outcomes now and in the future.
- Introduced cutting-edge technology that is shaping the future of cancer care in Wales.
Attendees heard directly from project leads and researchers, who shared the impact of their work and the difference it is making for patients and their families. Their presentations brought to life the benefits of research, service developments, and innovation that would not have been possible without charitable support.

The Showcase also marked the soft launch of the ARC Academy, which will succeed the Advancing Radiotherapy Fund (ARF) programme. Over the next five years, ARC Academy will drive forward innovation in radiotherapy, accelerate the adoption of new service developments, and expand access to world-class research and technology across Wales.
