What is a radiotherapy engineer?

Radiotherapy Engineers are specialized professionals who install, maintain, calibrate, and repair radiotherapy equipment used in the treatment of cancer, such as linear accelerators and imaging devices. They work closely with medical physicists, radiation oncologists, and other healthcare staff to ensure that these complex machines operate safely and accurately. Their expertise is critical for minimizing downtime, ensuring patient safety, and maintaining compliance with industry regulations. Radiotherapy Engineers also stay up to date with technological advancements and may be involved in training clinical staff on equipment usage.
