What we arrange

We help establish whether you are a candidate, arrange the consultation with the proton centre, and coordinate the treatment course, which usually runs daily for several weeks.

What affects the cost

Proton therapy is priced per course and is among the more expensive treatments. Whether it is appropriate for your tumour is a clinical decision made by the proton centre, not by us.

How it works

Send your pathology and imaging for a suitability review

Travel for the in-person assessment and treatment planning

Daily treatment over several weeks, with accommodation and transport arranged between sessions

Typically several weeks of daily sessions, each lasting under an hour. The exact number is fixed by the treatment plan after your planning scans.

Yes. We arrange a remote review of your records before you commit to travelling, so you know whether it is worth making the trip at all.
