Evolving Professions within the Multidisciplinary Cancer Care Team

Strengthening Collaboration among Healthcare Professionals

The European Cancer Organisation (ECO) is joining the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP) for a unique online event.

 

Join a group of young professionals from diverse specialties to discuss the importance of multidisciplinary approaches to cancer care: from diagnostic to treatment and beyond. This is your chance to hear from medical physicists as they share their daily experience in hospitals and learn about INTERACT-EUROPE 100, an EU-funded project that is improving interdisciplinary training across Europe.

A multidisciplinary approach is essential at every stage of the patient pathway. From diagnosis to treatment, technicians, nurses, and doctors work together to save the lives of cancer patients.

Early career medical physicists from EFOMP will showcase their often under-appreciated role in cancer care and the cooperation needed from a variety of professionals, including administrators, physicists, psychologists, laboratory technicians, and others. National standards and requirements also affect how physicists interact with other healthcare professionals and patients.

This roundtable event will spark conversations about the challenges and benefits of multidisciplinary care and the development of young professionals.

Don’t forget to stay for the Q&A session at the end. This is your chance to engage with top experts. Ask your questions, and share your insights.
