post-treat images were 0.67 (range 0.44-0.83) and 0.90 (range 0.54-0.97) respectively. Figure 1 shows the intra-fraction variation from setup to verif and verif to post treat images for both bladder and CTV. CTV volume changes were greatest in the adaption time, and smaller during radiation delivery. For inter-fraction movement, median volume for CTV and bladder were 7.41cm 3 (range -4.30-24.92) and -133cm 3 (range-382.63-57), respectively. No consistent bladder or CTV volume patterns were observe.

Conclusion Drinking protocols were not optimal to keep bladder volume constant. The low DC value justifies the need for an ATS workflow. Real-time adaptation based on MRL addressed inter and intra-fraction CTV and bladder changes by allowing an online correction that improves delineation and treats on the most updated plan.

1 Society of Radiographers , Professional and Education, London, United Kingdom; 2 Society of Radiographers, Professional and Education, London, United Kingdom Purpose or Objective Recruitment and retention of key NHS staff has been an ongoing challenge. The Reducing Pre-registration Attrition and Improving Retention (RePAIR) initiative was set up by Health Education England (HEE) in 2015 to explore effective interventions to improve retention across the student journey, from pre-enrolment to two years post qualification. Key objectives: · Map and identify areas of good practice, opportunities, and challenges of the RePAIR recommendations in England · Further embed partnership working across a range of stakeholders · Develop a shared online repository of good practice and understand the impact of COVID-19 on student education and training. Project delivered by Society of Radiographers (SoR), funded by HEE. Materials and Methods Sample: Radiotherapy approved Higher Education Institutions (HEI’s) n=10 and Radiotherapy Healthcare Providers (HCP’s) n=51 in England. A two stage project: · Multi-method survey of HEI’s, HCP’s and therapeutic radiography students on a placement expansion programme in England · Follow-up semi-structured interviews and Dual Moderator focus groups with key stakeholders

Results A 100% HEI and 88% HCP survey response rate.
