The IR Trainee Workforce 10 Years after Becoming a Primary Medical Specialty.

The recognition of interventional radiology (IR) as a primary medical specialty and the subsequent development of IR residency programs initiated a new wave of development in the field. The shift from recruiting from the pool of diagnostic radiology residents to the pool of medical students offered a new opportunity to evolve the composition of the IR workforce. After a decade of specialty status, the composition of IR's workforce and pipeline shows progress in its reflection of national demographical changes.

Fostering an inclusive workplace for LGBTQIA+ people in radiology and radiation oncology.

The inclusion and celebration of LGBTQIA+ staff in radiology and radiation oncology departments is crucial in developing a diverse and thriving workplace. Despite the substantial social change in Australia, LGBTQIA+ people still experience harassment and exclusion, negatively impacting their well-being and workplace productivity. We need to be proactive in creating policies that are properly implemented and translate to a safe and inclusive space for marginalised groups.
