    Abstract

    In order to reduce the incidence of major accidents during external radiotherapy treatment, “never events” checklists have been incorporated into the “record and verify” system. This article details this process. Prospects for improvement are also proposed, including a peer-to-peer audit on the use of checklists and the availability of the radiotherapy information system manufacturer to collaborate in this process to secure the patients’ journey.
