EU REST - Final Report
The European Union Radiation, Education, Staffing & Training (EU-REST) study aimed to collect and analyse workforce availability, education, and training needs to ensure quality and safety aspects of medical applications involving ionising radiation and to develop staffing and education/training guidelines as well as conclusions and recommendations for key professional groups involved in ensuring radiation safety and quality of medical radiation applications in the European Union.
EU-REST was awarded to a consortium led by the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and consisting of the ESR, the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP), the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS), and the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO), with input from the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM).
