WRAD Event: Trinity College Dublin Highlights World Radiotherapy Awareness Day

Trinity College Dublin

The Discipline of Radiation Therapy, Trinity College Dublin hosted two events for World Radiotherapy Awareness Day.  The first was a patient-centred event where Asst. Professors Claire Poole and Laura Mullaney (pictured) held a patient and public involvement (PPI) event in St. James’s Hospital, Dublin.  Patients had the opportunity to share their experiences of radiation therapy and others to hear about radiation therapy as a cancer treatment for the first time. 

This was followed by an informal networking event for colleagues within Trinity St. James’s Cancer Institute and the wider School of Medicine, hosted by the entire Discipline of Radiation Therapy faculty, to celebrate the inaugural World Radiotherapy Awareness Day.

 Prof Michelle Leech said:

“Sincere thanks to the patients and colleagues who took the time to share World Radiotherapy Awareness Day with us.  It was a wonderful occasion to share the benefits of our specialty with them and to highlight the inequities that exist in radiation therapy access both globally and closer to home.” -Michelle Leech
