dc.description.abstractThis second article of a series of three publications summarises the radiologist situation regarding staffing as well as education and training as analysed by The European Union Radiation, Education, Staffing & Training (EU-REST) study. Despite certain limitations posed by the dependence on survey responses, the results demonstrate that, for both workforce and education/training, considerable heterogeneity exists between Member States, which will impact healthcare delivery and the level of knowledge, skills, and competencies available. The number of radiologists per million inhabitants varies from 51 to 270. 16 out of 27 Member States have Radiologist numbers below the EU average of 127, and 45% of Radiologists in Europe are over 51 years old (in 2022). Clear guidance and metrics about workforce availability for the professions involved in the use of ionising radiation are needed to secure and improve the quality of healthcare delivery in Europe. Although the main scope of the EU-REST study was education, training and workforce availability, an attempt was made to characterise the numbers of pieces of medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment.en
