ESR Position

The ESR The European Society of Radiology (ESR) very much welcomes the European Commission Green Paper on the European Workforce for Health and has submitted an official response to the EC Green Paper on the Workforce for Health in March 2009.

The European Society of Radiology (ESR) wants to make sure that:

• although staff shortages are expected in the future, a radiological act must always be defined as a medical act
  
• standardised European training curricula and structures for all radiologists are established
  
• reporting radiologists are registered, including adequate monitoring and accreditation mechanisms
• special attention is given to the challenges new technologies pose for the radiologist profession.
