“…Insufficient access to personnel and equipment was also identified as a key translational challenge. A finding that converges with a recent study out of the United Kingdom that identified a general lack of resources (funding, staffing, and infrastructure) as one of four primary contributors to the inefficient set-up of radiotherapy trials [ 27 ]; though these findings may be due in part to the repercussions of the United Kingdom’s recent exit from the European Union [ 47 – 49 ]. Looking further into the staffing shortage, a survey of radiotherapy research staff revealed that most clinical centres had ≤ 1 whole time equivalent physicist, research nurse, data manager, and radiographer working within their radiotherapy research centre [ 33 ].…”

Background Medical applications of ionising radiation and associated radiation protection research often encounter long delays and inconsistent implementation when translated into clinical practice. A coordinated effort is needed to analyse the research needs for innovation transfer in radiation-based high-quality healthcare across Europe which can inform the development of an innovation transfer framework tailored for equitable implementation of radiation research at scale. Methods Between March and September 2021 a Delphi methodology was employed to gain consensus on key translational challenges from a range of professional stakeholders. A total of three Delphi rounds were conducted using a series of electronic surveys comprised of open-ended and closed-type questions. The surveys were disseminated via the EURAMED Rocc-n-Roll consortium network and prominent medical societies in the field. Approximately 350 professionals were invited to participate. Participants’ level of agreement with each generated statement was captured using a 6-point Likert scale. Consensus was defined as median ≥ 4 with ≥ 60% of responses in the upper tertile of the scale. Additionally, the stability of responses across rounds was assessed. Results In the first Delphi round a multidisciplinary panel of 20 generated 127 unique statements. The second and third Delphi rounds recruited a broader sample of 130 individuals to rate the extent to which they agreed with each statement as a key translational challenge. A total of 60 consensus statements resulted from the iterative Delphi process of which 55 demonstrated good stability. Ten statements were identified as high priority challenges with ≥ 80% of statement ratings either ‘Agree’ or ‘Strongly Agree’. Conclusion A lack of interoperability between systems, insufficient resources, unsatisfactory education and training, and the need for greater public awareness surrounding the benefits, risks, and applications of ionising radiation were identified as principal translational challenges. These findings will help to inform a tailored innovation transfer framework for medical radiation research.

BackgroundOn the 31st of January 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) officially withdrew from the European Union (EU), an event commonly referred to as "Brexit", from the blend of the terms British and exit. During the 47 years of British membership, the EU and its predecessor, the European Communities, grew to be of significant social, financial, and political importance to the UK. Consequently, Brexit is expected to have a strong impact both inside and outside the UK. Although some of the effects of Brexit have already been noted, many others remain largely unknown, since the UK is the first and only member state to have ever left the EU. Naturally, the National Health Service (NHS) and its employees are not immune to Brexit. Herein, we outline the process required to be followed by international medical graduates who wish to work in the NHS, and we briefly discuss observed and potential consequences of Brexit on recruitment and retainment of medical staff.
