Educational and Organizational Support for Radiation Oncology Nurses and Teams Adopting Procedural, Anesthesia and Perioperative Practices: The Adopt, Adapt, Build Methodology

As presented on November 17, 2025

Member Content

Radiation Oncology departments are transitioning to procedural, anesthesia and perioperative areas, through the addition of brachytherapy, hydrogel spacers, balloon spacers, fiducial placement, and both adult and pediatric anesthesia. Due to Radiation Oncology belonging to the ambulatory/clinic setting, there is little to no guidance on how to manage this transition from an operational and educational standpoint. This webinar is designed for not only nurses in leadership roles, but physicians, RTTs, office managers, operations managers and other members of the healthcare team as the departments undergo this transition. Not only will team members need education, but policies and procedures must also be developed for patient safety, quality, and regulatory purposes. Please join us today to hear about the Adopt, Adapt, Build Methodology, developed by one nurse to help simplify, explain and organize this transition for any Radiation Oncology department.
