Shaping the patient RT experience: Rehumanizing patient care in a post pandemic world

We are pleased to invite you to our second RTT Symposium at Kantonsspital Winterthur. We look forward to coming together again and continuing to learn from each other and fellow colleagues in the Radiation Oncology Team.

The events of the last 4-5 years have greatly impacted health care and how we are able to care for our patients. For this symposium, we aim for an open, inclusive and participatory discussion on how we can improve the patient experience in our RTT departments, after such a challenging time. For this reason, we landed on the following theme:

Shaping the patient RT experience: Rehumanizing patient care in a post pandemic world

In addition to the presentations and discussions in the morning (on-site and online), a practical session will be available for only in person attendees in the afternoon. We hope that we have sparked your interest, and we look forward to seeing you next February in Kantonsspital Winterthur.

Participation in the symposium is free and lunch will be provided.
