Clinical Oncology e-Learning Site-Specialty Lead

RCR Learning is at an exciting and pivotal point in the development of our offer within e-learning. We will work with site specialist leads as part of our Clinical Oncology (CO) e-learning faculty, dedicated to developing new resources and reviewing existing ones.

2025 saw the launch of our new e-learning platform, RCR Learn, which will offer a curated selection of high-quality and interactive educational resources relevant to the specialty, as a key membership benefit for our Fellows and members.

We are looking to recruit oncologists across the full range of site-specialty interests and those with a strong interest in new technology to lead on developing the content further within their area of expertise, fully supported by the RCR e-learning team. This will include the creation of interactive contouring and radiotherapy planning related to your specialty and reviewing, updating, and creating new site-specific interactive content. 

There will be an e-Learning Site Specialist Lead in a minimum of 6 of the following sites:

• Breast
• Lung
• Upper Gastrointestinal/ Hepatobiliary  
• Lower Gastrointestinal 
• Head and neck (Recruited)
• Uro-oncology 
• Neuro-oncology
• Gynaecological (Recruited)
• Sarcoma/Paediatric oncology
• Skin
• Cancer Unknown Primary/ Palliative radiotherapy
• Technical radiotherapy
• Systemic therapy development
• Anatomy (Recruited)

Although in the long term we are seeking leads in all areas, initially we plan to recruit six oncologists who specialise in any of the 13 site-specialty areas.  We are aware that many oncologists will have more than one area in which they feel they could lead the development of e-learning content in, and we would be pleased to receive applications from those who can lead in one or more areas.

The sub-leads will form part of a faculty alongside the CO e-learning lead, Dr Alison Cameron, and the RCR Team. The faculty will collaborate together to develop these new resources and help to recruit and co-ordinate oncology colleagues and liaise with site-specific groups and radiologists to assist in the development of these resources.

Results of an RCR insight panel have guided the initial development plans, which noted a strong preference for resources relating to contouring and planning, new technology and comprehensive site-specific resources, including updates on new practice-changing research. Therefore, the faculty will initially focus on:

• Development of contouring atlases for tumour sites and OAR/ gold standards for interactive online contouring
• Development of a highly interactive ‘fundamentals’ e-learning course, covering the key anatomy and oncology treatment for the site
• Review of site-specific material currently on RCR Learn, with development of material to fill gaps and refresh out-of-date material
• Bite-sized anatomy and OAR contouring demonstrations

In addition, the faculty will work with the new CO Exam Preparation Lead regarding the development of e-learning resources related to FRCR exam preparation efforts.  

• Contribute to your College and specialty’s professional development offering and help support training and retention for your specialism. 
• Collaborate with, and learn from, Fellows, members and partners based around the globe as the RCR develops its educational offering. 
• Earn CPD credits for the development and delivery of learning activities. 
• Attend an RCR Learning event free of charge (space permitting).
• Use of the title RCR CO e-Learning Site-Specialist Lead. 

The e-Learning Site Specialist Lead is responsible for all clinical activities relating to the development of their site-specialty e-learning programme, including:

• Review of site-specific material currently on RCR Learn related to your site-specialty and identify gaps in the portfolio and material that requires updating
• Facilitate development of contouring and planning resources for your tumour specialist sites and associated regional organs at risk
• Work with members of the CO faculty to create anatomy teaching resources related to your site-specialty.
• Based on the gap analysis, identify and develop new e-learning resources in your site-specialty, which support the RCR’s strategic priorities and the needs of our membership globally.
• Identifying opportunities within our live events programme to develop high-quality interactive recorded content on our e-learning platform. 
• Collaborating closely with the RCR Learning team to develop, plan and organise the RCR’s CPD learning resources. 
• As part of the RCR e-Learning Faculty Leadership Group, attend meetings and contribute to the ongoing direction of RCR Learning more widely. 
• Supporting the ongoing recruitment and succession planning of the e-Learning Faculty, supported by the RCR Learning team. 
• Undertaking other duties relevant to the scope of the role in line with the faculty and RCR strategic priorities.
