Celebrate World Brachytherapy Awareness Day

 

On 17 July 2026, brachytherapy societies from around the world will come together to celebrate and promote World Brachytherapy Awareness Day. 

This initiative provides an opportunity to raise awareness of brachytherapy, showcase the excellent work being undertaken across Australia and New Zealand, and highlight the benefits of brachytherapy for patients and healthcare professionals alike. 

 We encourage all members to get involved by: 

• Taking a team photo with your brachytherapy colleagues, equipment, or treatment facilities 
• Adding your photos to our World Brachytherapy Awareness Day Canva template - https://canva.link/y3vlhn1vosy48an 
• Sharing a short story, interesting case, service achievement, or insight into your brachytherapy program. 
• Promoting World Brachytherapy Awareness Day through your institution's social media channels (where permitted). 
• Sharing photos and information internally within your department to help raise awareness amongst colleagues. 

If your institution participates, we would love to see your photos and posts. Please tag the Australian Brachytherapy Group using #ThisIsBrachytherapy. You can also engage with and share content across our social media platforms to help maximise visibility and reach the wider radiation oncology community and beyond. 

Thank you for your ongoing support of brachytherapy. We look forward to seeing the creativity, enthusiasm, and achievements of our community.
