The team, who care for people across Milton Keynes, Swindon, Oxfordshire, and parts of Buckinghamshire, runs clinics at the OUH-run radiotherapy centre at Milton Keynes University Hospital.

Adults who have been treated for cancer with radiotherapy can now benefit from a new specialist service that supports them with any long-term consequences.

Although radiotherapy is an effective treatment for many types of cancer and many people make a full recovery, some individuals experience ongoing physical or psychological effects months or even years after treatment has finished.

The OUH Macmillan Radiotherapy Late Effects Service is provided by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) and funded by Macmillan Cancer Support.

The service has been open to internal OUH referrals since August 2024. As of last month, patients can now self-refer or be referred by their GP.

Appointments for adults (aged 18 years and over) are offered in person, over the phone, or as a video consultation, to suit different patients' needs. People will be seen by the team as many times as required to manage their symptoms.
