| 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. |
