Therapeutic Radiographers provide the highest standard of technical practice and patient care in order to treat and support patients receiving radiotherapy treatment.
As an apprentice, you will gain the skills and knowledge required to be able to deliver safe and effective radiotherapy treatment. You will rotate through both the pre-treatment and treatment sections of the department and become competent in the operation of both a CT scanner and Linear Accelerator.
All patients are treated using image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) so you will need to have the ability to develop excellent technical, anatomical and analysis skills to ensure that treatments are delivered as planned and prescribed.
The job role of a qualified Therapeutic Radiographer is to provide excellent care to patients diagnosed with cancer taking into consideration patients’ emotional, psychological, and physical needs through the stages of their cancer treatment when at times they may be extremely vulnerable. You will need to be able to stay calm under pressure and work well as part of a team.
In your daily work as an apprentice, you will be expected to interact with cancer patients, who may or may not be cured, their carers, members of the public and a range of healthcare professionals. You will learn to communicate effectively and develop the ability to use your knowledge and skills to assess patients and escalate issues to the relevant clinical specialists in the team.
