Radiographic Staffing: Short Term Guidance: 2005 Benchmark for Standard Core Functions within Radiotherapy

Within this first document is a benchmarking figure to assist managers locally in reaching a baseline-staffing number. Once this baseline has been established locally, the Society & College believes that more comprehensive staffing models, based upon greater skill mix, will then be able to be developed at the local level. It is anticipated that these models will be based upon skills mix across the entire radiotherapy workforce. In the longer term the baseline figure within the document may require adjustment to take account of these developments and the changing role that therapeutic radiographers will have within the service.
