Sažetak
In 2008 in Croatia, the provision of education for radiation therapists (RTTs) was very limited. There was no concept of a standardised formal education and continuous education opportunities were also very limited. In 2008, Croatia was invited to join the first iteration of the ‘Best Practice in Radiation Oncology-a project to train the RTT trainers’ initiative. This was the starting point of significant positive change in the education of RTTs in Croatia and thereby, the provision of quality care to patients. The project also resulted in a close collaboration in the development of educational opportunities for all radiation oncology professionals- radiation oncologists, medical physicists and RTTs, together with national bodies and universities.
