SYMPOSIUM New technology and modalities 08:45 - 10:00 | Ambra 1-2

Advanced practice roles for radiation therapists (RTTs) is an ongoing request for contemporary Radiotherapy. The development of innovative strategies and technologies, require multi and interdisciplinary approach to enhance practices and patient/focused outcomes. Implementing new technologies and methodologies becomes even more challenging and complex which demands for advanced education and training, as a continuous professional and personal development for a long term life learning process. This session intent to give crucial information for deliver and optimize current and future and advanced technologies as well as personalized approaches for enhanced patient care and treatment outcomes. 08:45 > How to secure the right competencies when new modalities are implemented - a clinical aspect in proton therapy Speaker: H.
