Training activity information
Details
Observe quality assurance for a LINAC
Type
Observational training activity (OTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.
Considerations
- Reflect on the techniques considering:
- The role of quality assurance in patient safety and ensuring quality of treatment
- Safe operation of complex radiation equipment and associated risks
- Local rules for operation and safe working practices
- Competency requirements for the person performing QA
