In this issue I am pleased to introduce the ‘in this issue’ for the fourth issue of Volume 17 of the Journal of Radiotherapy in Practice, published in December 2018. In this issue, there are 12 original articles on a range of topics and a literature review on the training of radiographers in dementia care. There are two technical notes: in the first, authors study the quality assurance (QA) of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment and the second note is on a planning study to optimize simultaneous boost in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. To complete this issue, there is a case study on a case of dermatofibrosarcoma protruberans (DFSP) of the scalp treated with a customised surface mould high dose rate brachytherapy and a short communication on the subject of the much-awaited Venezia applicator.In the first paper, the authors Flinton, Cherry, Thorne, Mannion, O’Sullivan and Khine present their paper on an investigation into the levels of compassion satisfaction and fatigue being reported by radiotherapy students.

Abstract

I am pleased to introduce the ‘in this issue’ for the fourth issue of Volume 17 of the Journal of Radiotherapy in Practice, published in December 2018. In this issue, there are 12 original articles on a range of topics and a literature review on the training of radiographers in dementia care. There are two technical notes: in the first, authors study the quality assurance (QA) of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment and the second note is on a planning study to optimize simultaneous boost in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. To complete this issue, there is a case study on a case of dermatofibrosarcoma protruberans (DFSP) of the scalp treated with a customised surface mould high dose rate brachytherapy and a short communication on the subject of the much-awaited Venezia applicator.In the first paper, the authors Flinton, Cherry, Thorne, Mannion, O’Sullivan and Khine present their paper on an investigation into the levels of compassion satisfaction and fatigue being reported by radiotherapy students.
