Details

‘Advancing safer radiotherapy’ has been designed by the multi-disciplinary radiotherapy community to provide guidance on how to place a greater focus on the patient as an active, valued participant in safety. It develops existing national recommendations, in place since the publication of ‘Towards Safer Radiotherapy’ in 2008, to reflect and consolidate contemporary approaches to patient safety.
