Work currently scheduled for 2022 includes the commissioning of a replacement Truebeam including the introduction of 6DOF couches, the replacement of the current Oncology Management System and the introduction of SABR for a range of sites. Other development work includes working towards the introduction of a new, dedicated MRI service for radiotherapy treatment planning.
