5 April 1991 : Royal Decree setting the standards which radiotherapy services must meet to be
approved as medical-technical services (Royal Decree of 17/09/2005, Article 1 - M.B. of 18/10/2005, p. 44531) in the meaning of
Article 44 of the coordinated Law on Hospitals of 07/08/1987 (M.B. of 17/04/1991, p. 7959).

Presentation
|
The training programme in radiotherapy and oncological treatment began in October 2011 in response to staff requests but also to bridge the gap in specialist training.
Identification of specific radiotherapy tasks highlighted a training need in order to ensure the optimal treatment of oncology patients, particularly in radiotherapy.
|
This training programme is aimed at a wide variety of disciplines because the skills and tasks associated with
Radiotherapy - Oncology treatment are varied and multi-disciplinary. In order to ensure quality and
safety of radiotherapy patient treatment, the technical and highly technological aspects
of these treatments are our priority. We are committed to retaining personal contact with oncology
patients.
|
Objectives of the programme: The certificate in radiotherapy and oncology treatment aims to train
technologists and dosimetrists with the skills to conduct specific tasks connected to radiotherapy treatment. Qualification in their field of activity will enable professionals to evolve in their roles, to acquire autonomy, professionalism and to be responsible for their acts and the consequences.
|
The general aims of this training are as follows :
- to ensure the individual is competent in the area of treatments and dosimetry in radiotherapy,
|*]to obtain concrete understanding of managing oncology patients,
- to be able to keep oneself up-to-date with changing techniques and knowledge,
- to be qualified for the radiotherapy labour market.
|
Special conditions of access / students concerned
|
Must hold at least a degree in nursing (Bachelors, A1), technology, Masters or hold
professional experience in radiotherapy in the area of oncology.
Interested individuals are requested to contact the head of the course in order for their
application to be considered (CV + copy of degree).
|
Duration of the training
|
The complete 10 credit course lasts one year (nine months), over three to four half-days per month.
