The role of the radiation therapist (RTT) is continually evolving with technological developments and in response to the complexities of care that cancer patients need and deserve. Combined treatment regimens and the ability to safely escalate radiation doses means the patient pathway requires multidisciplinary expertise. This session reviews our RTT changing scope of practice and how we, as experts in our field, can drive our professional development and recognition. The transformation from a newly graduated clinical RTT to roles that encompass expanded and advanced practice requires knowledge, personal growth, support and leadership. The 4 speakers will share insights into our evolving scope covering applications in management, research, and explore opportunities for the future direction of our RTT practice. This engaging session will be interactive: the audience are encouraged to ask questions and share their own experiences within the panel discussion.

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.
