The 8th annual scientific meeting of the Scottish Radiotherapy Research Forum will be held on 12th March 2020 at the Stirling Court Hotel, University of Stirling. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together researchers, clinicians, academics and students working in all aspects of radiotherapy to provide a platform for knowledge transfer and networking. This year's theme will be: New Radiotherapy Technologies - The Dawn Of A Golden Age?
