“It is going to deal with the whole country. It is going to try to provide health and fitness for every Tom, Dick and Harry and what is perhaps more important to us, for every Mrs Tom, Mrs Dick and Mrs Harry. It is aiming at providing fitness and health not only for the body but also for the mind …We are dealing with a national health and keep fit movement. The most far-sighted of you will appreciate that deep down in the heart of things we are striving after the education of the mind to co-operate with development in control of the body.”

Mrs Henry Tooth, speaking at a Conference in 1937 about the creation of the National Health Service. “Jerusalem”

And did those feet in ancient time, Walk upon England’s mountains green: And was the holy Lamb of God, On England’s pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here, Among those dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold; Bring me my Arrows of desire: Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight, Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem, In England’s green & pleasant Land.

Words by William Blake, music by Sir Hubert Parry The Little Linac Project

“Play is an integral part of the child’s healthcare experience and should empower the child, help the child understand the procedure and allow them to develop individualised coping strategies” The Royal College of Radiologists

Between 1,500 and 1,700 children under the age of 16 years develop cancer or leukaemia each year in the United Kingdom. They are treated at 17 principal treatment centres across the UK.

Toy bricks are every child’s favourite toy and are an ideal way to educate young patients about their treatment in a way that is designed to reduce their stress and anxiety, and so contribute to successful treatment sessions.

The Little Linac project was started by Professor David Brettle, when he was President of IPEM. His vision was for IPEM to provide every child in the UK undergoing radiotherapy treatment for cancer with a free kit of play bricks to make a model treatment machine (Linac, short for linear accelerator). The aim is to help reduce the child’s anxiety, through play, by allowing them to see and understand what the machine looks like and how it moves around them.

The model we have designed can make not only a ‘Little Linac’, but also three other imaging or treatment machines that the child may encounter. And after treatment is over, David’s challenge to the children is to use the bricks to make something very different: a rocket, a rabbit, a robot … part of the transition back to a more normal life.

Thank you for helping us to achieve this for children with cancer.
