• He/she actively participates in the development of new projects related to the optimisation of techniques.
• In the framework of R&D and education :

• He/she ensures that he/she develops and maintains his/her skills in his/her field of medical physics in order to keep his/her accreditation as required by the Royal Decree
• He/she participates in the teaching and training of the different members of the medical physics teams (physicists, doctors, nursing staff, ...).
• He/she supervises trainees
• He/she contributes to the analysis of events which have led or could have led to accidental or unintentional exposure. He/she collaborates, if necessary, in the development of corrective actions but also in proactive risk analysis.
