ECCO Oncovideos Launched - including video on Patient Safety in Radiation Oncology |
|
Oncovideos is a series of videos demonstrating standard practical procedures related to the various oncology disciplines targeting young oncologists who need practice oriented training.
Each video features a leading expert from one of the 18 cancer teaching partner institutions, performing and explaining the particular process involved. Topics covered include surgical oncology, radiotherapy, medical oncology, paediatric oncology and neuro-oncology, and each video lasts a maximum of 30 minutes. Both the topics and experts involved were selected by the European societies representing each specific oncology discipline: EANO, ESMO, ESSO, ESTRO and SIOPE. A total of 24 videos are available. All videos are accredited by the Accreditation Council of Oncology in Europe (ACOE), allowing users to collect CME credit points. Coordinated by ECCO – The European CanCer Organisation, the Oncovideos project has been funded with support from the European Commission and is freely available to all oncology healthcare professionals upon a simple registration process.

NEW REPORTING SYSTEM GOES LIVE |
| ROSIS has developed a customised taxonomy for use in radiotherapy, which links with other major taxonomies in the areas of radiotherapy and healthcare.
The initial reporting system has been revised to incorporate this taxonomy at the point of reporting, and to capture more information on radiotherapy techniques and technologies. Please log-in to view our guide to reporting, and to send a report. |
What is ROSIS? |
| ROSIS is an acronym for "Radiation Oncology Safety Information System" and it is a voluntary web-based safety information database for radiotherapy. ROSIS enables the exchange of safety information within the radiotherapy community. The system is based on professional front-line staff in radiotherapy clinics reporting incidents and corrective actions over the Internet to a database. Reporting is confidential in relation to the reporter, clinic and country and anonymised in relation to the patient. ROSIS aims to reduce the occurrence of incidents in radiation oncology by:

Learning from ROSIS |
| Reading the incident reports in their original format is probably the most basic form of learning, but the narratives can be very effective at proving the existence of mistakes and how easily they can occur in any department. All "old" ROSIS incident reports are available under the main menu heading "ROSIS Safety Information". All "new" ROSIS incident reports are available in the member's area once you log-in to the system. You can search this online database under predefined headings. Further search options will be provided in due course. The full anonymised database can be provided to individual researchers or research organisations on request. Please contact us for more information. ROSIS provides themed lessons through database analysis leading to the publication of spotlight cases or newsletters, and scientific publications and presentations. |
