Additional information

Advanced Radiotherapy – Training in the latest radiotherapy techniques

Radiotherap-e equips practitioners with the knowledge and practical skills to implement advanced radiotherapy techniques, safely and efficiently.

Training in the latest radiotherapy techniques

The e-learning sessions cover a range of topics related to several of the latest advanced radiotherapy techniques. The use of images, animations, video clips and self-assessment helps to reinforce learning on the complex principles involved. Practitioners can also practise their skills using customised tools that simulate?relevant tasks in radiotherapy, such as contouring, dose calculation and optimisation.
