Notice Title

NHS Grampian Radiotherapy Dosimetry Equipment

Notice Description

To support the delivery of a high quality radiotherapy service, NHS Grampian maintains a wide variety of dosimetry equipment to meet both the routine and specialised needs of the department. While some of this equipment was replaced with the introduction of the department's new linear accelerators (circa 2011), several of the critical components of the system have not been updated in significantly longer.
