  • 1. Oncology Department, University Hospital, Olomouc (Czech Republic)
  • 2. Stereotactical Radiation Neurosurgery Department, Na Homolce Hospital, Prague (Czech Republic)
  • 3. National Radiation Protection Institute, Prague (Czech Republic)

Description

Current status of quality assurance programmes in the Czech Republic is highlighted and the structure of quality audits is explained. The results of radiotherapy department auditing are given in a tabular form. It is shown that deviations from tolerable levels are mostly due to obsolete equipment and lack of health physicists at radiotherapy departments. The audits can help rectify the situation in part at least. (P.A.)
