Abstract
Background: Since 2004, a group of representatives from the universities providing entry level radiation therapy( RT) programmes have met biannually to co-ordinate national clinical practiceplacements. At these meetings the RT Lecturers’ Group established that there were challenges in clinical assessment posed by the variety of assessment forms in use. A large degree of commonality across the universities in the clinical assessment forms was identified.It was felt that sufficient commonality existed to develop a nationally standardised assessment form
This paper describes the rationale behind the development of the form and the methodological approach used in its design.This project has been funded by the Department of Health and Ageing, Radiation Oncology Division. The universities involved in the project included Newcastle University, RMIT University, Queensland University of Technology, Monash University,University of Sydney and University of South Australia. The project was lead by University of South Australia.
