Plaque brachytherapy patient education package

A WCMICS service improvement grant is supporting the development of a multimedia (video and written) patient education package about plaque brachytherapy at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.

This project aims to develop patient information materials to better explain what patients can expect if their eye treatment is by plaque brachytherapy (internal radiotherapy ‘seeds’ used in ~75% of patients with ocular melanoma) and provide it to 100% of Oncology clinic patients undergoing plaque brachytherapy and their carers at the Eye and Ear Hospital by mid-late 2024.
