Details

Perform contamination monitoring and decontamination of a treatment room post radionuclide therapy administration

Type

Entrustable training activity (ETA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion. ​

Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.

Considerations

  • Local SOPS
  • Choice of appropriate monitor
  • Appropriate use of contamination monitor
  • Decontamination of surfaces
  • Determining radiation level at which the room can be released to the ward or restrictions that need to be used
