[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

The weekly cancer MDT meeting can cause treatment delays, result in poor quality decisions, and waste clinicians’ time, say @tomroques and colleagues.

It’s time for a fresh approach

@MarkGaze @BBCBreakfast Thanks, Mark. Cancer teams are working so hard to provide the best care they can. Many exciting new treatments. We won't be able to make the best of them without workforce that has time to innovate

[Tom Roques @tomroques]

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.

[The Royal College of Radiologists @RCRadiologists]

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: https://t.co/Bz6qpO8gXf

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 @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 👇

Increasing and empowering the #radiotherapy workforce are key to reducing delays and implementing change. Read our new radiotherapy policy briefing to find out more @ipemnews @SCoRMembers

[The Royal College of Radiologists @RCRadiologists]

Radiotherapy services are increasingly reporting long delays for patients needing treatment.

The Radiotherapy Board have developed a policy briefing, exploring the main drivers of lengthening waiting times and the action needed to support services.
