Croakey Health Media released the first of its ASMIRT / NZIMRT 2025 news stories today.
Carolyn Heyes, President of ASMIRT, spoke to Croakey Health Media about the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research in Adelaide.
“This will be the first proton therapy facility of its kind in Australia and will provide services to children with cancer from around the nation. We owe it to them to get the Centre up and going as soon as possible,” Ms Heyes said.
Proton therapy for cancer, practitioner wellbeing, patient-centred care and achieving equity in cancer radiation therapy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will be highlighted at the conference for radiographers, sonographers, radiation therapists, nuclear medicine practitioners and the wider medical radiation sciences community.
The conference, with the theme Divergence-Convergence and Opportunities-Focus, will run from 27-30 March on Kaurna Country in South Australia.
