The RTTQA Group is a centralised UK resource which designs and implements QA programmes for all NIHR CRN Portfolio trials that include a radiotherapy component. The group is a single multi-professional network of radiographers, clinical scientists, clinicians and IT staff working collaboratively across a number of NHS sites.
The RTTQA Group monitors the quality of radiotherapy delivery for multicentre clinical trials. Poor quality radiotherapy can compromise the outcome of a trial and may also have negative consequences on patient outcomes. Radiotherapy Quality Assurance (RTQA) is recognised as an integral and essential part of the radiotherapy clinical trial process.
You will be the lead contact for a number of trials, performing or assisting with all aspects of RT QA, including protocol development, contour and planning reviews, and dosimetry audit. You will work closely with trial recruiting centres and support trial participation through interactive workshops and educational sessions. You will have the chance to collaborate with national and international groups.
