A Therapeutic Radiographer from University College Hospital in London has won the prestigious Whatever It Takes – Clinical Expertise award at the Macmillan Professional Excellence Awards in April.
Sabina Khan, a Macmillan consultant head and neck Therapeutic Radiographer in late effects, received the accolade on 23 April at the Macmillan Professionals Conference in Birmingham.
The Whatever It Takes – Clinical Expertise category recognises those in registered or specialist clinical roles who go above and beyond to impact the lives of people affected by cancer.
“Winning this award offers a valuable opportunity to showcase how instrumental the role of the Therapeutic Radiographer is throughout the whole cancer pathway, particularly within survivorship,” said Sabina.
“Building on a legacy of Therapeutic Radiographer winners, it has helped bring head and neck late effects to the forefront. It also recognises that, as a team, we are listening to our patients and working collaboratively to identify and address their unmet needs.”
