Awareness prioritisation by managers and educational institutions | (1) To review existing E&T in RP literature. Plan future design, development, delivery, and evaluation of E&T in RP offerings to be framed within an educational research approach to add to the body of evidence (2) To review all recommendations / listed resources (learning materials and equipment or software to facilitate E&T) and propose up-to-date resource recommendations within a detailed the harmonised model for E&T in RP (3) To develop a suite of ‘bite-sized’ topics within a more extensive model for E&T in RP; to include online offerings, to increase accessibility, and a modular approach (also makes content updates easier) (4) To implement a harmonised model for E&T in RP, including online ‘train the trainers’ courses and stress the importance of education and availability of future generations of radiation protection experts with sufficient knowledge, skills, and competences, to cover future needs of E&T (5) To implement a detailed, harmonised, model for E&T in RP and communication of same to target specific audiences, with pre-reading materials available as required (6) To implement a harmonised model for E&T in RP which describes a blended approach to delivery, including taking online / digital approaches for virtual ‘hands-on’ | (1) To develop innovative and accessible education and training programs through higher education institutions in cooperation with healthcare facilities and other relevant stakeholders (2) To cover multiple learning objectives on a specific topic (e.g. dose reduction strategies in CT) through centres of excellence (3) To create an EU network of a multidisciplinary team of experts to “train the trainers” (4) To develop short duration courses focused on 1 key objective (e.g. how to measure dose output in CBCT) (5) To create, and maintain up-to-date, a centralised peer reviewed database of E&T in RP and RAM resources |
