Radiotherapy Pre-Treatment Special Interest Group

Join Radiotherapy Pre-Treatment SIG

Purpose

The Radiotherapy Pre-Treatment Special Interest Group has been set up in conjunction with the SCoR and is based on a Synapse web page.

The purpose of this group is to facilitate networking and communication between therapeutic radiographers with a special interest in the Pre-Treatment Specialty to allow sharing of knowledge and experiences. In addition, the group aims to provide peer support and develop resources for training, education and technique development.


Meetings

We aim to run regular SIG meetings to facilitate discussion and dissemination of new work and processes. Members will have the opportunities to present recent and innovative work as well as share their experiences on topics which have been raised as being of interest by other members.
