Huge thanks to the heads of service who complete census data each year and to the @RCRadiologists external affairs team who communicate that data so brilliantly. Advocating for workforce will remain our top priority. Recruit - train - retain.

Our 2023 census reports should act as a wake-up call for the next government 🚨 They reveal dangerous shortages in doctors essential in the diagnosis and treatment of #cancer. Read our three-point plan to recruit, train and retain the doctors we need: rcr.ac.uk/census2023

There are fascinating insights into the real cost of radiotherapy in the HERO report, published today. As an effective cure for many cancers, it is CHEAP! Huge thanks to contributors, especially @katiespencer72 and @Noemiedef1
The Royal College of Radiologists@RCRadiologists2 May 2024
Replying to @RCRadiologists
The Radiotherapy Board also published the ESTRO-HERO report, which estimates the cost of radiotherapy to the NHS for the first time. The report shows how radiotherapy benefits tens of thousands of patients each year at a relatively modest expense 👇 rcr.ac.uk/news-policy/policy…
