Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the news that there are vacancies on the ESTRO ROSQC.

ROSQC activities are intended to improve safety and quality in the preparation and delivery of radiotherapy and to boost compliance of member states with the legal requirements defined in the European directives in the area of radiation safety and quality.

The ROSQC aims to support ESTRO in leading education, research, and development in the quality and safe delivery of radiotherapy, and to help strengthen ESTRO’s position in defining and participating in EU research projects.

The ROSQC has established working groups, led by its members, that invite additional participants to join based on their interest/expertise in each area. These working groups cover:

• risk management and the radiation oncology safety education and information system (ROSEIS) event-learning platform;
• cyberattack-awareness, preventative measures, and emergency response;
• definitions of radiation protection in radiotherapy to reflect the issues of modern radiotherapy more accurately than currently;
• publications – the ESTRO newsletter ROSQC corner;
• education and educational material; and
• the implementation of new/innovative technology or techniques.

The ROSQC is a multidisciplinary committee comprising three disciplines that work in radiotherapy and are affiliated with different aspects of quality and safety. The term of committee membership is three years, and can be renewed once. For more information about our members and activities, visit our website (ESTRO ROSQC)

As a committee member, you will

• work with a highly motivated group of other committee members
• help to organise our activities, such as screening projects, and be aware of quality and safety related topics
• contribute to our ROSQC newsletter, etc, and
• spend an average of one hour per week on committee activities.
