The late effects of radiotherapy can dramatically reduce a patient’s quality of life. Knowing that little support was available for people living with the consequences of treatment, Macmillan Consultant Radiographer Emma Hallam set up the Nottingham Macmillan Late Effects Clinic in 2013. Emma developed bespoke patient reported outcome measures to screen for potential late effects. She also engaged health professionals to design a head and neck home exercise programme to prevent radiation-induced fibrosis and head and neck dysfunction. This is a free online webinar.
