A message to our patients:
“Welcome to the Radiation Oncology Princess Alexandra Hospital, Raymond Terrace Campus (ROPART). ROPART offers a high-quality radiation therapy service that meets your individual healthcare needs.
Our specialist areas include paediatric radiation therapy services for Queensland, gynae-oncology radiation therapy and expertise in the use of highly focussed radiation therapy techniques such as Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for managing a range of oncology conditions.
Additionally, the ROPART campus is the only centre in Australia to employ an Advanced Practice Palliative Radiation Therapist. This enables our organisation to provide timely and effective patient-centred palliative radiation therapy.
Our specialised teams work together to ensure your health care and treatment outcomes are optimised in a safe and welcoming environment.
Your well-being is our priority.“
