Training activity information

Details

Observe the creation of radiotherapy treatment plans for a range of anatomical sites and reflect on the process

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 legislation and guidance at local and national levels that guides planning
    • Pre-treatment imaging modalities
    • Delineation of contours
    • Patient centred care and support
