We are very fortunate to have so many members
contributing content to the newsletter. Thank
you. It makes for a very diverse and thought-
provoking read, as you will see in this edition.
Featured on our cover this time are Drs Dion
Forstner and Brigid Hickey who write about
advances in radiation therapy techniques
and the challenges faced in evaluating their
effectiveness.
The President introduces the new
Interventional Radiology Committee, which
will work across the spectrum of intervention-related issues and
improve the flow of information in this important subspecialty.
The College firmly opposes any form of bullying and harassment in
the workplace and the CEO outlines the processes we have in place to
counter these malicious behaviours. She reminds members of our Code
of Ethics principle that “clinical radiologists and radiation oncologists
have a duty to attend to the health and wellbeing of their colleagues”.
Our Targeting Cancer website recently won two prestigious awards, and
members of the campaign will be raising awareness of radiation therapy
among thousands of GPs at upcoming education days around Australia.
The International Day of Radiology on 8 November is a chance for us to
celebrate the contribution of radiology to health care. The theme this
year is breast imaging, and we encourage everyone to get involved.
With the federal election behind us, we can concentrate our advocacy
efforts on implementation of the diagnostic imaging reforms
committed to by the Turnbull Government.
We explain two key concepts behind the improvements we will be
making to our training and assessment programs and there are plenty
of opportunities for members to get involved.
I hope to see many of you soon at our Annual Scientific Meeting on
the Gold Coast.
