Pocket Guide for Radiotherapy in Clinical Practice: A Handbook for First-Year Students During Clinical Placement
Author: Lucy AustinPublisher: Reflect Press LtdCategory: Radiotherapy, Psychotherapy, Nursing Fundamentals & SkillsAge Group: 15+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 new 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.
Written by a recently qualified student, who was the Society of Radiographers Student of the Year in 2013, this book is crammed with practical detail to help all students get to grips with their clinical placements.
