The Radiotherpay Weekend will be held in Brighton in 2009.
The Society and College of Radiographers is encouraging students to attend the Annual Radiotherapy Weekend and offers a reduced rate for student delegates.
The event will be held in Brighton on 31 January and 1 February 2009.
Claire Ford, previously a student at University of Portsmouth, presented her third year research paper ‘The effect of the ‘first definitive’ targets on waiting times within a local radiotherapy department’ at last year's event.
Now a full time radiographer, Claire reflected on the experience: “This experience helped me in my new job as it was a fantastic opportunity to meet people from various oncology centres, and was also helpful at the interview stage. I think it demonstrates that you realise radiography is an ever changing profession, and that you are aware of some of the current key topics. It was great to have on my CV, and gave me the opportunity to co-chair a session at the conference this year, which I feel privileged to have done!”
This year's topics include:
• Clinical radiotherapy: Technical topics;
• Towards Safer Radiotherapy: Clinical examples of changing practice to enhance service delivery;
• Clinical practice: Changing roles to meet changing service need;
• The role of the therapeutic radiographer undertaking ,dosimetric planning;
• Post registration education and training to support service development;
• Research:Examples of different types of research in the clinical setting.
