Did you know?...

If you have had or are having radiotherapy treatment to the breast at the Worcester Oncology Centre, you can sign up to join our hydrotherapy sessions.
All sessions are run by a team of Therapy Radiographers who you may have seen during your treatment!

At the Worcestershire Oncology Centre, we frequently receive inquiries about how individuals can donate to support our work, either on their own behalf or in memory of a loved one. We have prepared this convenient guide detailing the donation process. Every donation is invested directly back into the department. For example, thanks to recent generosity, we were able to acquire an additional bladder scanner, significantly enhancing the accuracy of pelvic treatments and reducing waiting times for available equipment. A heartfelt thank you to all our generous donors

Happy World Radiographer day to all the radiographers working in the oncology centre 🥳

🎉 Happy !

On this day in 1895, Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-radiation, changing healthcare forever. Today, 50,417 HCPC-registered radiographers carry forward his legacy.🌍

Today we're celebrating and recognising their vital role in delivering life-saving diagnostics and therapies in their day to day work. 💙

Congratulations Dr Shafeek 👍

Putting the 𝑹𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒍 in Worcestershire Royal 👑
Dr Shafeek was invited by the King to attend the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace this week.

Dr Shafeek has spent more than 22 years working as Consultant Haematologist in our hospitals and during his time he's worked alongside both his father and his son, who both spent time working as doctors in the same Haematology department.

Having treated patients with blood cancer for many years, in 2019 Dr Shafeek was sadly diagnosed with blood cancer himself. After entering remission he returned to work and continues to help patients with this condition to this day.

Dr Shafeek is a hugely admired colleague and his work has established our hospitals as a regional leader in Haematology education. He also teaches students from Birmingham Medical School and Worcestershire’s Three Counties Medical School.

In 2022 his patients nominated him as a Commonwealth Games baton bearer. Instrumental in establishing the Worcestershire’s Myeloma Patient Group, he is also a patron for Cure Leukaemia and Leukaemia Care.

Congratulations Dr Shafeek!

Well done Jude 👏

Jude is one of over 50,000 Healthcare Scientists working in the NHS. She works in our hospital as a Trainee Clinical Scientist in Radiotherapy Physics.

Together healthcare scientists provide the scientific backbone of the NHS and their work underpins 80% of all diagnoses. This week for Healthcare Science Week, we're celebrating the vital work they do.

Jude's work helps to improve the quality of life for those living with cancer. As we learn more about the body’s response to radiotherapy and the technology available to treat cancer, we improve and change the treatment methods.

Working as a clinical scientist in radiotherapy means being at the forefront of using these changes. This could be how much treatment a patient gets, how long it lasts, or how their treatment is planned.

Well done Lizzie ❤️

To mark International Women's Day, the SoR is revisiting interviews with inspiring women from across the world of radiography.

In December, Synergy sat down with Lizzie Smith, a Therapeutic Radiographer who was diagnosed with cancer at age 29 https://www.sor.org/learning-advice/professional-body-guidance-and-publications/documents-and-publications/synergy-news/synergy-december-2024
