Why do you want to give physicists a central role in your radiotherapy trials?

First, what characterises medical physicists?
- We're quantitative, systematic & analytical
- We're trained in modelling, data visualisation, & interpretation of evidence
(And sometimes we - by which I mean me - go exploring in caves, which is almost like running a trial 😅)

But importantly, we understand the opportunities and limitations in current technology & are uniquely placed to understand current gaps in knowledge.
We can ask
“How can we best utilise technology to improve outcomes?”
“Will this be achievable in daily practice?”

Today is International Clinical Trials Day! #CTD2019
In the spirit of #CTD2019, I thought I’d take a bit of time to talk about medical physicists and radiotherapy trials #medphys #radonc

Why should radiotherapy trialists care about medical physicists? And why should physicists involve themselves in trials?
The short answer: It makes trials a whole lot better!
The slightly longer answer: It ensures maximum value from data that we are entrusted by patients
And the properly detailed answer will take a couple of tweetorials ☺️
