“There continues to be a shortage of new radiation therapist graduates and, if that continues, we are facing a major crisis." - John McCamley Read our full statement on our meeting with Simon Harris TD and Colm Burke TD here👇 siptuhealth.ie/siptu-calls-on…

Our first Open Day to showcase the work of Radiation Therapists to 2nd level students in the West has begun. They will be shown all areas and given practical demonstrations. Here we have Rachel and Theresa showing how to make an immobilisation mask

We now have Leanne and Maeve showing the Linac and explaining treatment

And finally a big thank you to all who helped make the day a great success. Particularly Susan who organised the whole event from contacting the schools to the day itself.

More wonderful talks and demonstrations on what #radiationtherapists do and the imprtance of #MDT to another group of interesting second level students led by Susan Henry Stephen Coyne Leanne McNamara Mags #RTT @TCDRadTher UCCDeptMed UCC Medicine & Health

The end of an era and begining of another. We have finally left the building and are all in our new department . Thanks to all the team for getting us to this point.

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!

Debbie Kelleher RT Simon Harris TD Colm Burke TD @LeechmMichelle UCC Medicine & Health Fiona Steed Jackie Reed Still the same story in Radiation therapy. People leaving and nobody to replace them. We can have all the new technology and machines but if we have no new Radiation Therapists to work in the profession they will be standing idle.

The Irish Cancer Society helpline has received a large volume of calls from cancer patients who cannot access life-saving radiation therapy, with almost one in four patients facing delays. What needs to happen now? irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4146… #cancer

Really disturbing from Debbie Kelleher RT impacts for cancer patients from Radiation Therapist shortages, w SIPTU and also hearing from Irish Nurses & Midwives Organisation (at the Health committee)

Debbie Kelleher briefed the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health about a 30% shortage of Radiation Therapists, resulting in cancer treatment machine closures #SIPTU #Oireachtas #IIRRT x.com/siptuhealth/st…

1 in 2 people in Ireland will get cancer in their lifetime. Treatments and survival rates are better than ever, especially when cancer is found early. For more information visit: bit.ly/4dlNfco #KnowTheSigns | #Cancer
