Details

鈥楢dvancing safer radiotherapy鈥� 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 鈥楾owards Safer Radiotherapy鈥� in 2008, to reflect and consolidate contemporary approaches to patient safety.

Safer radiotherapy e-bulletins

are available online.

The aim of the e-bulletin is to provide a regular update on the analysis by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) of radiotherapy event (RTE) reports.
