Radiation Therapist Education and Training: An International Survey.

Purpose: This study reports on the current status of Radiation Therapist (RTT) education and training globally. RTTs are the health professionals responsible for the preparation and delivery of courses of radiation therapy, the latter being indicated in the management of 50%-60% of patients with cancer globally. Therefore, high standards of education of these professionals are paramount to safe and high-quality cancer care.

Best practice in radiation oncology: A project to train the trainers: Review of 2008-2023.

The European Society of Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) project on 'best practice in radiation oncology: a project to train the radiation therapist trainers' commenced in 2008. The aim of the project was to influence education programmes throughout, mainly, eastern Europe to increase the radiation therapy-specific education of their programmes. This is to enable graduates of these programmes to be radiation therapists that are fit for purpose in the clinic.

Optimising hypoxia PET imaging and its applications in guiding targeted radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer: a scoping review.

Introduction: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Definitive treatment includes chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Tumour hypoxia impacts the efficacy of these treatment modalities.

Exploring preparedness transitions in medicine and pharmacy: a qualitative longitudinal study to inform multiprofessional learning opportunities.

Despite extensive preparedness literature, existing studies fail to adequately explore healthcare graduates' feelings of preparedness longitudinally across new graduate transition journeys, nor do they compare different healthcare professions to ascertain what opportunities exist for multiprofessional transition interventions. Therefore, this Australian study, underpinned by temporal theory, explores the preparedness transitions of medicine and pharmacy graduates. Our 6-month qualitative longitudinal study involved 12 medicine and 7 pharmacy learners after purposive sampling.
