KUWARBAV, RATNAGIRI
Summary
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Carrying out complex technical radiotherapy procedures on treatment unit and in simulators.
MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Guiding, instructing and encouraging patients receiving Brachytherapy and External Radiotherapy & giving advice to patients on necessary aftercare.
- Assessing patient’s level of knowledge before commencing with treatment and thus participating in the informed consent process.
- Providing appropriate information regarding long and short-term side effects or referring on as required.
- All daily routine checks of equipment are carried out and report faulty equipment or suspected faults to the physicists.
PRE-TREATMENT:
- Planning of patients, giving advice and support to patient’s as required.
- Producing immobilization devices as required.
