Work Packages
More information on work packages within the project.The research developed on the WPs numbered 3 to 8 identified the competencies developed in Europe as well as those that are underdeveloped.
From this research, recommendations were published to improve education of therapy radiographers but also suggestions will be made in regards to curricula for CPD activities with the aim of tackling the gaps identified.
The results of the research WPs 3 to 8 were fed into the WP10 where webinars were developed, recorded and made available as open access to all radiographers.
WPs 1 and 2 were related to management and quality assurance of the project. WP9 consisted of 4 radiotherapy conferences where the SAFE EUROPE results were presented. WP11 consisted of submiting the results of the studies to ESCO, to update the profession’s description. WP12 was an impact WP focusing on ensuring that the results reach the decision-makers and all stakeholders.
The webinars were, therefore, include the missing gaps in regards to:
- Skills of the linear accelerator radiographer (UoM)
- Skills identified by the patients (UU)
- Circular economy (green-skills) (UoM)
- Digital skills for the radiographer (IPOP)
- Advanced practice (EFRS)
In this section
WP3 – survey linac Competencies
The study aimed to evaluate the competencies of the radiographers at an EU level.
WP4 – interview Stakeholders linac competencies
This Work Package was built on this knowledge by assessing the perception of European stakeholders.
WP5 – Patient Perceptions
The aim of this work package was to investigate and identify the perceptions of patients/service users on the role and skills of TR.
WP6 – Circular Economy
In this work package, we started off with a review of existing TRs’ educational programmes.
WP7 – Digital Skills
The aim of this work package was to identify the possible gaps in the profile of a therapy radiographer.
WP8 – Advanced Practice
The aim of this work package was to identify the competencies required to practise advanced roles.
WP9 – Dissemination of results
Dissemination of the results obtained from all work packages had the ultimate aim of ensuring the knowledge acquired during this research reaches all the interested parties.
WP10 – Webinars
The research developed on the WPs numbered 3 to 8 identified the competencies developed in Europe as well as those that are underdeveloped. Webinars were created to close those gaps.
