7th Proton Physics Research and Implementation Group (PPRIG)
7th Proton Physics Research and Implementation Group (PPRIG)
Started in 2012, the aim of this group was originally to bring together interested parties to bid for research funding collaboratively and establish a programme of work to drive forward proton therapy related research. The two-day event provides an excellent networking opportunity for academics, industry, and clinical staff to have discussions within the relaxed leafy suburb of Teddington, southwest London. The workshop will include invited speakers, debates, group discussions, conference talks and poster sessions.
This year the workshop theme is Translating research into the clinic.
The theme will be reflected throughout the programme of talks and discussions to identify the current barriers and facilitators to enable research to support clinical challenges. This will involve talks and workshop discussions on topics, such as navigating regulations for novel medical devices and software, in additional to validation and translation of new planning and delivery techniques in the clinic.
