Welcome to the American Brachytherapy Society’s nursing page! ABS is proud to offer a growing collection of brachytherapy nursing content and a platform for brachytherapy nurses to come together as a community to discuss our practice and develop ongoing resources to share with one another.
In November of 2022, ABS hosted a first brachytherapy nursing specific symposium and established a platform for the nursing community within the society. The symposium was a great success and ABS looks forward to continuing to provide ongoing educational content, both at future ABS conferences as well as during nursing-specific events. ABS Annual Congresses, while not nursing specific, will help strengthen nurses’ knowledge of the science, research and treatment delivery. The congresses and ABS community provide invaluable networking opportunities for brachytherapy teams.
Historically, brachytherapy nursing resources have been scarce. Also, as no two brachytherapy teams operate in the exact same way, finding valuable resources you can apply to your practice can be challenging. ABS is committed to creating and providing content for its members, based off of brachytherapy best practices and input from nursing members.
Our hope is to provide a valuable platform for brachytherapy nurses everywhere and strengthen the knowledge of our practice through this community.
