Abstract
This survey assessed radiotherapy planning and delivery within the UK in 2007. The most significant findings were the lack of implementation of IMRT and IGRT which appeared to mainly to be due to lack of available staff, such as medical physicists, insufficient access to existing equipment, lack of time for more complex radiotherapy planning and insufficient funding. A further concern is the lack of formal training in tumour and normal tissue outlining across several staff groups.
