Abstrakt:	Technological advances in radiation therapy impact on the role and scope of practice of the radiation therapist. The European Society of Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) recently held two workshops on this topic and this position paper reflects the outcome of this workshop, which included radiation therapists from all global regions. Workflows, quality assurance, research, IGRT and ART as well as clinical decision making are the areas of radiation therapist practice that will be highly influenced by advancing technology in the near future. This position paper captures the opportunities that this will bring to the radiation therapist profession, to the practice of radiation therapy and ultimately to patient care.

The following authors are editorial board members of tipsRO: Nigel Anderson, Mary Coffey, Kenton Thompson, Michael Velec and Monica Buijs. Given that this manuscript is reporting on an ESTRO activity, the associated paper is for publication in an ESTRO journal. As the activity is specific to radiation therapists, tipsRO is the most appropriate journal for this report. (© 2024 The Author(s).)
