Streamlining Paediatric Palliative Radiotherapy: A Case Study on Reducing Procedural Burden and Avoiding General Anaesthesia Using a Simulation‐Free Radiotherapy ( <scp>SF</scp> ‐ <scp>RT</scp> ) Protocol
SF-RT shows promise in reducing GA requirements in paediatric palliative radiotherapy, offering benefits for patient experience and healthcare resource utilisation. These cases support the feasibility of SF-RT in select paediatric patients and highlight the need for broader implementation and further investigation in this population.
