Efficiency and equity in organising radiotherapy services: Centralisation or decentralisation?
This session will examine how radiotherapy services can best balance efficiency, quality, and equitable access to care. Experts will debate the benefits and challenges of centralised and decentralised models, considering their impact on patient outcomes, access to treatment, workforce planning, and resource utilisation.
