| Abstract: | Until recently the number of Medical Physicists in Malta was much lower than that recommended by EU institutions. This was impacting the extent, effectiveness, safety and efficiency of clinical services. The University of Malta and the Ministry of Health in Malta embarked on a project to address the issue. The objective was to produce an E&T programme which followed the then developing EU, EFOMP and IAEA recommendations whilst optimizing costs and ensuring future-proofing. We present the innovative scheme, which was part financed by the EU European Social Fund, as a model of academic and public administration cooperation in the service of patients. |
