| Abstract: | Advancing practice has developed organically as a form of role extension since the 1990’s (Leary and MacLaine, 2019). Predominantly found in the field of nursing, where a foundation of transferable skills unpins their development. In radiation therapy, radiation therapists/ therapeutic radiographers (RT/TR) possess the necessary expertise, skills and knowledge, making them uniquely placed to support advanced practice across the radiotherapy pathway (Khine, Stewart-Lord, 2021). However, the concept can be misunderstood since those foundation ‘nursing’ skills are not required by all within the specialisms such as in radiation therapy. |
