Job Description
A Radiation Therapist is a healthcare professional who administers radiation treatments to patients with cancer or other conditions that require radiation therapy.

- Explain radiation therapy procedures to patients, ensuring they understand the treatment process and addressing any concerns they may have.
- Ensure that patients are positioned comfortably and safely for treatment, taking into account any physical limitations or medical conditions.

- Treatment Planning:
- Collaborate with oncologists and medical physicists to review and implement treatment plans, ensuring accurate radiation delivery.
- Assist in the design and planning of patient-specific treatment techniques, ensuring the treatment area is clearly identified.
- Work with a multidisciplinary team to review imaging data and ensure treatment areas are appropriately mapped.
- Make adjustments to treatment plans if necessary, based on patient progress or changes in condition.
- Quality Control and Equipment Maintenance:
- Operate and maintain radiation therapy equipment, including linear accelerators, imaging devices, and dosimetry equipment.
- Conduct daily equipment checks to ensure proper function and calibration of radiation delivery systems.
- Report any equipment malfunctions or issues to the physicist or supervisor and follow up to ensure timely resolution.
- Adhere to safety protocols to prevent radiation exposure to staff, patients, and others in the vicinity.
- Patient Monitoring and Follow-up:
- Monitor patients throughout the treatment process, observing for any signs of complications or reactions to the radiation therapy.
- Take accurate measurements of patient responses and progress, ensuring that treatment is proceeding according to plan.
- Record treatment data, including radiation doses, machine settings, and other relevant information in the patient's medical record.
- Provide follow-up instructions to patients, including guidelines for managing side effects and when to seek further medical care if necessary.
- Documentation and Record Keeping:
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date patient records, including treatment plans, progress notes, and details of each radiation session.
- Ensure proper documentation of treatment sessions, radiation doses, and any adjustments made to the treatment plan.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and hospital protocols for patient confidentiality and documentation.
- Adherence to Safety Standards:
- Follow strict radiation safety protocols to minimize exposure to patients, themselves, and other staff members.
- Wear appropriate protective equipment, including dosimeters, to monitor radiation exposure.
- Stay up-to-date on safety standards, ensuring compliance with both local regulations and industry best practices.
- Maintain a clean and safe work environment, adhering to infection control and safety protocols.
- Collaboration with the Healthcare Team:
- Work closely with oncologists, nurses, medical physicists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care.
- Attend regular team meetings to discuss patient progress, treatment outcomes, and any issues that may arise during therapy.
- Provide support to patients and their families, answering questions and addressing concerns about radiation therapy and its effects.
