	In the recent years FFAG gantries have been studied for medical applications, but none has so far been realised. The FFAG solution would reduce the complexity of beam line set-up, its weight and therefore the cost of the rotating support, in particular for heavy ions. The Imperial College London is using the experience gained in the Pamela Project and in the design and commissioning of EMMA to work on a solution of a non-scaling FFAG gantry, which fulfills the full requirements for the spot scanning - parallel beam treatment technique, and provides an easy interface to the upstream accelerator. The preliminary results will be presented in this paper.
