The development and implementation of a performance appraisal framework for radiation therapists

What is it about?

Clearly defined practice standards and a systematic process for providing feedback on performance is vital in supporting radiation therapists to meet the demands of constantly changing practice. To provide this support, a radiation therapy-specific framework was developed. The goal was to reflect the complexity of practice and provide a clear measure of performance against them. This paper outlines the implementation of this framework into practice and discusses some lessons learned in the process.
