Pocket Guide for Radiotherapy in Clinical Practice
Lantern Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-908625-26-7 (ISBN)
by a recently qualified student, who was the Society of Radiographers Student
of the Year in 2013, the Pocket Guide for Radiography in Clinical Practice is crammed with practical detail to help all
students get to grips with their clinical placements.
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.
