Biological Basis of Cancer Therapy Part 1-Medical Physics Revision Workshop

The Cancer Studies Research Group based at The Christie School of Oncology & Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute play a major role in allowing Specialist Registrars in Clinical & Medical Oncology to fulfil the academic side of their training.

The One Day Revision Workshop is intended as a revision back up following on from the pre-recorded lectures available here

but this is not a pre-requisite. If you have undertaken physics teaching within your own hospital Trust, this workshop is an aid to revision if you are undertaking your FRCR part 1 examinations.

The workshop will be recorded and accessible via SharePoint to all registered candidates for revision purposes until 28 February 2025 in line with the Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025 RCR FRCR 1 examinations.
