An evidence-based framework for the implementation of radiation therapy advanced practitioners

The implementation of advanced practitioner radiation therapists (APRT) in Australia has not yet been fully realised, despite discussing the need for such roles for some time. A doctoral research study that explored why this was the case identified that the implementation of RTAP was highly complex, influenced by contextual practical, social and personal concerns, underpinned by a process of Navigating Uncertainty. To aid practitioners to overcome uncertainty and progress the APRT agenda, an evidence-based implementation framework based on this research has been proposed.
