ABSTRACTS
For 2024, GCR submitted two abstracts to the WCC, which will be published in the online abstract library. The abstracts highlight the GCR Emergency Response Task Force, and the Radiotherapy Essential Standards, in collaboration with Radiotherapy UK. We invite all WCC attendees to discover more about the remarkable work that the volunteers of the GCR are involved in, and share this valuable information with your colleagues.
