I'm not sure if @xkcd Randall Munroe's wife Megan had radiotherapy - but anyway, I'm going to put his latest beautiful and poignant cartoon on my office wall: a reminder that what we try to do is to make time for people to do the things they love with the people they love.

A very happy 6th birthday to the first Halcyon in the world to have kV-CBCT imaging. Still going strong as it marches into linac middle-age, and soon to be doing surface-guided treatments with Identify @RTatBHRUT @BHRUT_NHS @VarianMedSys @varianuk

BHR RT Physics@BHR_RTPhysics

Physics & Radiotherapy staff @BHR_hospitals today with the world's first patient treated on @VarianMedSys Halcyon v2.0 - kV CBCT, double-stacked MLCs improving plan quality, and faster patient set-up. Well done to all @RTatBHRUT & @BHR_RTPhysics, and to @varianuk for the upgrade.

@CGlideHurst @UW_RadoncDHO @JMSlagowski @SBlumPhysics @eric_wallat Junior physicists always given these to work on in Treatment Planning 20 years ago in another department... I was known as "Captain Template", alongside my colleague "Princess Perspex"

Utterly trivial post, but I'm curious - users of NHS email: has your default font changed to Aptos? I've changed mine back to Calibri. Getting a lot of NHS emails with Aptos. Constantly embracing change in radiotherapy physics, but for some reason I find this change unsettling...
