Job Description

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

Deliver prescribed radiation treatments to patients, following the treatment plan created by the oncologist and medical physicist.

  • Use specialized equipment, such as linear accelerators, to target tumors with precise doses of radiation.
  • Position patients on the treatment table and ensure proper alignment using imaging techniques such as CT scans or X-rays.
  • Monitor patient responses during the radiation treatment and adjust positioning if necessary to ensure optimal treatment delivery.
  • Deliver treatments in a manner that minimizes exposure to healthy tissue and surrounding areas.
  • Patient Preparation and Care :
  • 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.
  • Provide emotional support and reassurance to patients, especially since radiation therapy can be a source of anxiety for many individuals.
  • Educate patients about the side effects of radiation therapy, such as fatigue, skin irritation, or other potential reactions, and provide guidance on managing these symptoms.
  • 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.
