Conclusion:

The management of patients with CIEDs undergoing RT across departments in Ireland is highly variable. The number of patients with CIEDs undergoing RT is increasing, and the development of national consensus guidelines using a multidisciplinary team approach would help to improve knowledge and confidence levels of health care professionals involved to optimise care of patients with CIEDs undergoing RT.
