Biennial Asssessment: RT Treatment Verification Imaging
The treatment verification imaging guidelines change frequently as a result of the introduction of new technologies and processes. Also, the radiation therapists frequently make decisions based on the treatment verification images that could have a significant impact on the outcome of a patient's treatment.
For these reasons, at Radiation Oncology Network - Westmead and Blacktown campuses, the radiation therapists are required to complete a short assessment once every 2 years. This program is designed to encourage radiation therapist to revise and seek further assistance if required such as reading the work instructions and guidelines in Wiki or to receive a face to face tutorial with an expert.
