Berkshire beam centre to serve capital

Chief medical officer Prof Karol Sikora, centre manager Laura Geer, and proton beam therapy patient Timon Colegrove

A new proton beam therapy suite in Reading, Berkshire – the first such facility in south-east England – aims to serve patients from London and overseas.

Patients can consult in Harley Street before treatment at The Rutherford Cancer Centre Thames Valley, which opened its doors to patients at the start of September.
