The language of assessment: Identifying challenging terminology for students and exploring implications for practice (2024)
Journal Article

Many interventions have been developed by staff to support students in understanding assessment task requirements and summative and formative feedback. However, to various extents, these approaches assume a shared understanding of the, often indeterm...

P 134 - Performance, functionality, and future upgrades of the Christie proton research beamline for radiobiology (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The University of Manchester/Christie NHS FT proton research room (Figure 1) has been operational since late 2019 occupying the 4th gantry room of the proton therapy centre and is served by the same accelerator as the clinical rooms. This room offers... Read More about P 134 - Performance, functionality, and future upgrades of the Christie proton research beamline for radiobiology.

P 351 - A prototype secondary standard calorimeter for dosimetry of conventional and ultra-high dose rate protons (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Ionisation chambers are commonly used as secondary standard detectors, however these are less suited for ultra-high
dose rates (UHDR), or FLASH dosimetry, because of collection inefficiency due to ion recombination. Calorimetry shows
promise for UH... Read More about P 351 - A prototype secondary standard calorimeter for dosimetry of conventional and ultra-high dose rate protons.

Counter terrorism measures in the classroom: The importance of professionalism, agency and autonomy when enacting the Prevent duty (2024)
Book Chapter

The Prevent policy was singular and “simple”: to prevent individuals from getting drawn into terrorism, to identify and stop this process before it begins. In the context of the global war on terror and the shadow of terrorist attacks in the USA and...

FLASH proton therapy
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Conference teaching session: The FLASH effect is a normal tissue sparing induced by ultra-high dose rate irradiation. This effect has the potential to create a step change in the therapeutic ratio, however the exact parameters which induce normal tis... Read More about FLASH proton therapy.
