NHS National Clinical Director For Cancer, Professor Peter Johnson, said: “Radiotherapy is essential for many cancer patients, so it’s great news that the investment in new machines means that some will need fewer rounds of treatment, as we bring in more sophisticated techniques. These machines will deliver more precise treatment for patients, which helps them to recover sooner, as well as enabling the NHS to treat people more efficiently as we continue in our efforts to catch and treat more cancers faster.” Antonia Marks, director – diagnostics, equipment and services at NHS Supply Chain said: “This achievement comes after a decade of collaboration between NHS Supply Chain and NHS England in delivering radiotherapy LINAC replacement funding. We’re proud to have provided the procurement route for these systems, achieving significant savings for the NHS. These advanced technologies will play a vital role in reducing waiting times and backlogs, while ensuring patients receive treatment using the latest innovations.” accelerator (LINAC) radiotherapy systems in 2025/26 to NHS cancer centres across the country including the Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. e rollout of the new technology is backed by centralised government funding provided by NHS England for NHS hospitals in need of replacement systems. rough its framework agreement, NHS Supply Chain procured 28 new - in its totality (mental, emotional, physical) - is an expression of the restorative e orts of the life force to harmonise those trillions of cells. It is not quick- x medicine, the timeline for decline and recovery in health are proportional, but the goal is cure and not symptom management. Of course, we are dynamic beings living in space and time, and our health-span is not without limits. Nonetheless, the foundations built though childhood and middle years are re ected in later life.

Science writer Philip Ball in his book How Life Works, tells us that despite the remarkable discoveries, science still cannot explain life. Humans comprise around 40 trillion cells, and billions of miles of DNA (who worked that out?), carrying far more information that the most advanced computer. Moreover, we are about 70% water by weight; more uid than solid. e successes of modern medicine arise from the valid perception of our bio-chemical nature. But, are we solely sophisticated chemical plants? When death comes, as it must, why do we dissolve back to the elements of which we are composed? e domain of science is the material; the concept of an invisible harmonising and maintaining life force, does not appeal. Yet, a German physician Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), argued that symptoms are but an expression of a disturbed life force. e meticulous Dr Hahnemann, set down the precepts of Homeopathic medicine in a profound book titled e Organon of Medicine which is still in print. Life events, acquired or inherited, are disruptors to the natural harmonious state, which must be restored. Central tenets of homoepathic medicine are individuality and the totality of symptoms.
