Welcome to our "Future of radiotherapy" series, hosted by Rachael Webster. In this introductory episode, Rachael gives us an overview of the Cancer Research UK Radiation Research Network, known as CRUK RadNet, and introduces CRUK RadNet Cambridge's first patient and public involvement project which has led to the creation of this podcast series. You'll also find out from Rachael what's coming up in our next few episodes.
