| description | The European Society of Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) project on ‘best practice in radiation oncology: a project to train the radiation therapist trainers’ commenced in 2008.The aim of the project was to influence education programmes throughout, mainly, eastern Europe to increase the radiation therapy-specific education of their programmes.
