The winner of this year’s Schottlander Poster Prize was Emma Foster-Thomas from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust for her poster, “A qualitative study of patient experiences of dentofacial adverse effects after proton therapy”.
The case report considers the perspectives from childhood head and neck cancer survivors and their parents in relation to dentofacial adverse effects caused by proton therapy. The paper also highlighted the importance of collaboration between the dental and oncology teams involved.
