Overview: Highly skilled and sufficient workforce is crucial for quality and safe radiotherapy, but many regions of the world are facing staff shortages due to various reasons. RTTs are particularly affected, especially because in many countries worldwide, the profession of RTT is not recognised and there is lack of education and training programmes. Therefore, comprehensive and innovative workforce recruitment and retention strategies are of paramount importance. Moreover, targeted interventions at workplace aimed at enhancing job satisfaction, resilience, mental and physical health are vital components in reducing staff turnover and ensuring service continuity. The speakers in this session will discuss existing challenges and share best practices and solutions, mainly within the context of European region.
