This is a level 7, 10 credit module which is part of the pre-registration Masters programme in Therapeutic Radiography & Oncology.
This module will use and develop further the knowledge, understanding and skills established in the first semester’s studies to establish authentic clinical practical and analytical skills in the key processes of treatment planning and on-treatment verification imaging used for radiotherapy. Running in parallel with the oncology modules within the course the module will develop and apply the practical skills needed for preparing and verifying geometrically radiotherapy for the cases used for cancers of the breast and pelvis. The module utilises a blended approach of e-lectures, tutorials, seminars, virtual reality technology and clinical simulation to complement the oncology case-based approach.
There are two elements of assessment, consisting of two 1,500-word assignments (3,000 words in total) assessing practical planning and imaging skills which will enable learners to demonstrate critical
appraisal and academic writing skills at level 7.
