Fact-finders learn about patient monitoring system at James Cook
Radiotherapy teams from Singleton Hospital in Swansea and St James’s University Hospital in Leeds performed a fact-finding tour of the radiotherapy department at James Cook University Hospital in Middlesborough.
Pictured are RT radiographer Julie Wood, RT physicist Dr Steve Weston, RT technical research radiographer Peter Enever and RT engineer Chris Forrest all of St James’s, with James Cook RT radiographer Catherine Wilson who demonstrated the system, Vertec Scientific product specialist Michael Davis, Singleton Hospital RT physicist Adam Selby, head of RT physics Dr Ryan Lewis, RT radiographers Ffion Morgan and Nicola Davies, and James Cook RT physics expert Andrew Greenhalgh.
The focus of the tour was the C-RAD Catalyst patient monitoring system installed by Vertec for which Greenhalgh has special responsibility at the hospital. Fitted to an Elekta Versa linac, the system is the second Catalyst installed in the unit. Singleton Hospital has a similar system fitted to its own Elekta linac, which is due to enter clinical service next spring.
