Radiographers have begun a 48-hour strike. Leandre Archer from
@SCoRMembers explains why.

[CatchUpWithCancer @RTherapy4Life]

Thank you Baroness Merron for raising this issue.

High Tech Radiotherapy equipment is saving lives worldwide, yet remains severely underfunded in the UK.

With cancer waiting times at an all time high, radiotherapy is the most effective solution we have to #CatchUpWithCancer

[The Royal College of Radiologists @RCRadiologists]

Our annual workforce censuses found that in almost all UK cancer centres, patients’ treatment was delayed due to staff shortages.

The Gov has failed to tackle the workforce crisis by not training enough doctors or retaining the ones we have.

Research into the behaviours of leaders who deliver transformational change. The factor that makes the biggest difference between those who deliver & those who don't is whether leaders embrace the emotional journey of their people. 6 behaviours that improve the odds of transformation success:
1) Leadership’s own willingness to change
2) Shared vision of success
3) Trust & psychological safety
4) Balancing implementation & creativity
5) Recognition that technology carries its own emotional journey
6) Shared sense of ownership over the outcome
