Governance

CRUK RadNet Manchester governance is separated over three levels.

  • A Programme Board
  • A Leadership Group
  • An International Advisory Board

 

The majority of the operational governance is led by a Programme Board, consisting of the Director: Professor Robert Bristow, Deputy Director: Professor Kaye Williams, the Centre Manager: Dr Clare Dempsey, Patient and Public Involvement Lead: Tony Wright, and Education Lead: Rachel Chown. Together, they shape the direction and delivery of the Centre of Excellence.

 

The Leadership Group, consists of the academic directors, scientific leaders, and project managers from RadNet Manchester and the wider Radiotherapy Related Research group regularly meet to update about the individual work packages and hubs, ensuring cohesive and aligned research priorities.

 

Finally, RadNet Manchester benefits from the international recognition and expertise of the members of the RadNet International Advisory Board. They help to ensure research activities have the impact and recognition on an international scale and ensure synergy between other activities across Manchester. These include: Dr Alexandre Bobard, Prof. David Jaffray, Prof. Tony Lomax, Dr Mike Velec, Prof. Marie Catherine Vozenin, and Prof. Daniel Zips.

 

CRUK RadNet Manchester also leverages the existing radiotherapy infrastructure and expertise that currently exists in Manchester, including facilities at The Christie, academic expertise at the University of Manchester, and existing research programmes and activities through other CRUK facilities across Manchester, the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre and many more.
