RTT - Education, training, advanced practice and role developments

ESTRO 2024

Conclusion:

The cervical cancer POD training and competency programme bridged the gap in RTTs competency, enabling safe and accurate implementation of CPOD RT. CPOD RT did not require additional time and was comfortably delivered within our standard 20-minute RT session. The four-plan library developed was fit for practice, all plans are utilised, and these provide good target coverage solutions online. Future work will quantify the impact of CPOD on toxicity and look to expand the training programme to other interested hospitals.
