Towards a Sustainable RTT network

<< Objectives >>Overall aim TaSeRnet: harmonisation of proton therapy practise with a network for RTTs and dosimetrists. Specific objectives: - Identify best practice standards in proton therapy in Europe, including the perspectives of medical physics experts, medical physics engineers and radiation oncologists- Use the best practices to develop clinical guidelines- Create a sustainable life-long learning format for RTTs and dosimetrists that is built on an educational module on advanced proton therapy.<< Implementation >>To achieve the objectives, we shall:- Develop an exchange programme for RTTs and dosimetrists;- Create treatment planning challenges for RTTs and dosimetrists to develop best practices;- Organise a workshop to exchange views on best practices;- Develop, publish and implement guidelines on best practices in proton therapy;- Set up an advanced training programme for RTTs and dosimetrists;- Build a web-based platform for education, TP challenges, guidelines, exchange opportunities, etc.<< Results >>Main results: Whitepapers with best practices in proton therapy practice; Clinical guidelines on proton therapy; Advanced training program for RTTs/dosimetrists; Web-based platform, being the core of a sustainable network for RTTs/dosimetrist and providing open access to all project results and facilitating communication between the different members. Main outcome: An increase in quality of proton therapy practice provided throughout Europe, because of increased harmonisation.
