Image Guided & Adaptive Radiotherapy in Clinical Practice Course 2022
Date: Thursday 3^rd – Saturday 5^th February 2022
Location:  The Education and Conference Centre, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK

Description:

This 3-day course held in collaboration with The Institute of Cancer Research, is designed to help clinicians, physicists and radiographers develop programmes for the implementation of image guided radiotherapy.

The course has been awarded 19 RCR Category I CPD credits under The Royal College of Radiologists CPD scheme.

The curriculum covers many practical aspects and includes hands-on experience of volume and OAR localisation and definition, contouring, planning techniques, immobilization and patient set up image verification. Plus guidance for developing protocols for outlining, and sessions on QA and imaging, covering pre-treatment and on treatment procedures - from the TPS to the linac and patient.

We recommend a team of oncologist, physicist and radiographer from the same centre attend together.

Included in the cost of the course is a set of lecture notes, an electronic link of the presentations, lunches, refreshments a cheese & wine evening and a course evening meal ( sponsored by the manufacturers).
