The aim of the series of talks was to bring Medical Physicists closer together during the Covid19 first and second wave in 2020, discuss new working processes and practices, issues arising in our working environments, share approaches to providing physics services through the pandemic, define novel strategies and prepare ourselves for the challenges to come.
Following on from EFOMP president's Marco Brambilla’s communication on the corona virus in March 2020, it became clear that many physicists were having similar experiences in adapting their medical physics service in the Covid19 era. It was also evident that sharing of good scientific knowledge and experience would help defeat the virus (or instead perhaps “would help in the fight against the virus”).
The webinars are organised by IAPM (Irish Association of Medical Physicists) and EFOMP with contribution from the Medical Physics societies of Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and UK. Lectures have a duration of 45 minutes and 15 minutes discussion with audience interaction and polls.
