Radiotherapy Radiographic Workforce UK Census 2021

The College of Radiographers carried out a census of the radiotherapy radiographic workforce in the UK as of the census date 1 November 2021.

This document presents an analysis of the census results and compares them to similar censuses carried out annually from 2010 to 2020.

As in previous years, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the radiotherapy service managers for their ongoing support in enabling data collection. The data they supply can provide important evidence to workforce planners, clinical boards, government departments, educators, commissioners and providers of radiotherapy.

To accompany the report, we also publish a spreadsheet with the principal figures, the questionnaire used to gather data and an infographic illustrating the key findings.
