Abstract
The number of Medical Physicists in Malta was until recently much lower than that recommended by the European Guidelines on the Medical Physics Expert. This was impacting the extent, effectiveness, safety and efficiency of clinical services. The Maltese Ministry of Health and University of Malta together partnered a project the objective of which was to produce an Education and Training scheme for the Clinically Qualified Medical Physicist which followed the recommendations of the ‘European Guidelines on the Medical Physics Expert’ project, EFOMP Policy Statement 12.1 and IAEA Training Course Series 37, 47 and 50 whilst optimizing costs and ensuring future-proofing. We present the innovative scheme as a model of academic and public administration cooperation in the service of patients. The project was part financed by the European Social Fund. It is hoped that the model will help other countries in Europe where Medical Physics Education and Training is not yet developed to set up similar cost-effective schemes.
