The new Advancing Radiotherapy Cymru (ARC) Academy is calling for applications. Proposals are invited for radiotherapy based projects that aim to improve treatment for cancer patients across Wales.
ARC is an all-Wales programme that supports collaborative working on projects that improve quality of life for patients and reduce variation and inequality in provision of radiotherapy service.
Applications are encouraged from projects that work regionally and nationally and must align with one or more of ARC’s five themes.
The themes are:
“We are delighted to be open for applications. The ARC Academy is a fantastic opportunity to work collaboratively across Wales on innovative and engaging radiotherapy based projects that will bring benefits to patients and colleagues alike.” Dr James Powell, Clinical Lead for ARC
