This talk will describe off line and on line adaptive radiotherapy techniques whilst exploring the changing roles and responsibilities of doctors, physicists, and radiographers. The international current practice of ART will also be presented. 

Educational aims:

- To understand adaptive radiotherapy workflows

- To gain an insight into future training needs
