The course is intended to provide the basic knowledge which a medical physicist working in a radiotherapy department would be expected to have. This includes: a knowledge of how quantities of radiation and radiation doses are measures, including the theory of radiation detectors and dosemeters; a knowledge of how cells are affected by exposure to ionising radiation and the mechanisms involved; knowledge of how the treatment plan for a patient is developed and carried out; a knowledge of the risks involved in the use of ionising radiation; and the concept of risk and radiation protection.
