Rocare is proud to have completed the latest radiotherapy refurbishment project for Varian Medical Systems, supporting the installation of the UK’s first Varian Halcyon™ radiotherapy treatment devices.

This development will enable cancer patients across the country to access advanced image-guided radiotherapy treatments at Queen’s Hospital, Romford, one of the busiest oncology departments in southern England.

The new Halcyon systems will enhance both treatment precision and patient comfort, helping clinicians deliver high-quality, efficient care within a modernised, purpose-built environment.

“The arrival of the country’s first Halcyon systems is great news for local patients,”

says Liz Crees, Head of Radiotherapy Physics at Queen’s Hospital, part of the Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals Trust (BHRUT).

“We are a big cancer center and we see a lot of patients. These new machines are designed to be very patient friendly and allow treatment to be delivered very quickly while also offering state-of-the-art cancer care.”

“The Halcyon systems will allow us to offer patient-centered, high quality, high speed, fully image-guided radiotherapy,” added Sherif Raouf, Director of Cancer Services at Queen’s Hospital.

“We look forward to having the machines operational so that we can enhance the excellence of our patient care.”
