be in the published “optimal” or “mandatory” range. All of this data is available directly in ProKnow to all contributing providers and shows the easy availability of dose audit for both intra-provider and inter-provider collections. As well as being valuable audit data, it serves as a source of reference data for development of further guidance on achievable plan doses. The use of big-data tools makes plan audits easy both nationally and locally, with acceptably low error rate bit brings additional challenges to avoid potential risk of bias due to patient upload selection or mis-filing into the national collection sets from individual providers. The small issues with mis-filing of plans is expected to reduce through feedback to individual providers.

Purpose/Objective:

Computer simulation is widely applied in educational scenarios and considered a viable option when constraints around access to clinical resources may compromise training programmes. Internationally, there is concern over the availability of well-trained Medical Physicists and an accepted requirement for greater qualified staff. In low- and middle-income countries this is particularly severe. Everywhere the overhead on experienced clinical physicists in mentoring, teaching and assessing trainees is challenging. The Virtual Environment for Radiotherapy Training (VERT) system has been successfully implemented in RTT training programmes (1) in over 30 countries and is an established tool therein, including for their physics (2) curricula. Activities have been developed within the VERT Physics module to support Medical Physicist training with a goal to alleviate the stated challenges.
