Abstract
Vaginal vault brachytherapy is a common treatment for endometrial cancer. Historically, applicator insertion has been the domain of a radiation oncologist (RO). This commentary outlines a project to improve efficiency and workforce utilisation by introducing a competency framework and training module allowing entitled radiation therapists to perform single‐channel cylinder applicator insertions and treatment delivery under RO supervision for fraction one and without supervision for subsequent fractions. The rationale, relevant regulations, implementation process and barriers are explored.
