In this episode, three of Addenbrooke's Hospital's therapeutic radiographers, Daniel Driver, Cristina Ferreira and Poppy Howe, discuss their roles and how they are important to patients coming in for radiotherapy. Therapeutic radiographers are specialists trained specifically in radiotherapy planning and delivery. We are so lucky to be able to pin down three of Addenbrooke's finest who all work together, but in different ways, to ensure the safe and accurate delivery of radiotherapy treatment.
Daniel is one of our Radiotherapy Treatment Floor Radiographers, meaning that he is someone who patients will see daily for radiotherapy. Daniel also looks after our student radiographers from the University of Suffolk, UK, offering support and guidance throughout their training.
Cristina is our Head of Technical Operations in Radiotherapy, meaning that she is in charge of implementing new techniques into the Addenbrooke's Radiotherapy Department and provides leadership across the Department for our radiographers.
Poppy is our Advanced Practitioner for Breast Radiotherapy, and her work focuses on breast cancer treatment. She is a pivotal person for patients with breast cancer as she helps in the planning, reviewing and supportive care of this patient group whilst they are undergoing radiotherapy and afterwards.
