Pocket Guide for Radiotherapy in Clinical Practice Summary

Pocket Guide for Radiotherapy in Clinical Practice: A handbook for first-year students during clinical placement by Lucy Austin (University of West of England)

All radiotherapy students have to undertake clinical placements. These are daunting and challenging experiences: students have to deal with qualified staff, patients, and practices and equipment that will differ from what they have been taught in the classroom. This book gives students essential practical advice to help them in these placements. It is intended as a companion that students can carry and refer to; the format is small enough to fit into the pocket of a uniform, and there is a section for students to make their own notes.
