  schema:description "Every time you come for radiotherapy, even on the last day and even when the staff know you well, they will ask you to say your full name, date of birth and often your address, rather than asking you to confirm them. They also check that the plan on the machine is yours and that the right side is being treated. This is one of the most important safety checks in radiotherapy."@en ;
