Radiography
Radiotherapy placements can be daunting – you’ll be working in a demanding setting and caring for people when they are at their most vulnerable. There is a large amount of new information to take in, new colleagues to work with, and newly learned theory to put into practice. This pocket guide is designed to make your placement less stressful and a more rewarding learning experience.

From pretreatment, through image-guided treatments, to side-effect management and aftercare, it’s full of practical detail, hints and tips.

Written by a former College of Radiographers Student of the Year and by two highly experienced practising therapeutic radiographers – this guidance is really produced with you in mind. Pocket-sized format – carry it with you at all times. Space to make your own notes – be it local protocols, new terminology, or just the names of your new colleagues!

Reduce your stress and make the most of your placements by having this book to hand from the start.
