RadiationTherapyTCD Trinity College Dublin NCCP HSE Ireland Department of Health Irish Cancer Society The survey responses from clinical #RTs was absolutely gut wrenching Aisling Barry. Jan23 we had a national deficit of 15%, Jan 24 it is now up around 30%, with some #cancer centres even worse than that.With 60%of #RTs intent on leaving in next 5yrs...what then?

Absolutely agree 💯 Michelle

As a #radonc community we must come together and try to retain the #rts we have remaining

Charles Gillham MD CORU Ireland NCCP Irish Cancer Society HSE Ireland Gerry Hanna 4 years ago myself, claracremin ,Shirley Crudden and Olivia bererton highlighted the ongoing issues in #RT . We have campaigned tirelessly with Colm Burke TD Simon Harris TD SIPTU Health Division #JoinAUnion Irish Cancer Society every since to highlight the continued exodus of #RT s out of the profession.

Huge congratulations to my colleague Kate Fitzgerald and everyone who worked on this paper! I'm sure I'll be seeking your help when I get around to my own MSc project 😄

This makes me so sad 😞
We literally cannot provide radiotherapy to anyone without #RTT radiation therapists! Voices aren’t being heard…and neither are feet it seems… #patientadvocate groups we need you @hsenccp HSE Ireland Simon Harris TD 📣Help!

Sobering data from the national #RTT review. Huge deficiencies in experienced #RTT s due to lack of career progression. #advancedpractice needs to be an urgent priority for #cancer services NCCP HSE Ireland Iirrt

This is so concerning. Radiotherapy is not deliverable without radiation therapists. It’s imperative that career progression is facilitated and encouraged. We cannot wait any longer for the long overdue RT review CORU Ireland NCCP Irish Cancer Society HSE Ireland Gerry Hanna
