Session Item

Radiation Therapists (RTTs) are responsible for the accurate preparation and safe administration of radiotherapy whilst providing clinical and emotional support to patients with cancer. The areas within radiotherapy where RTTs provide expertise are broad and are expected to expand even further with the development of adaptive strategies, proton beam therapy, automated planning and the implementation of artificial intelligence. International experience complements graduate and post-graduate studies. It can also trigger the development of niche expertise and the spread of novel ideas. Moving countries entails many challenges, which are, however, vastly outweighed by benefits. In this talk, we will discuss benefits of moving abroad for a short or long period and how RTTs can best utilise international experience to broaden their mindsets, enrichen their experience and develop themselves to the next level.
