Are you meeting this HCPC requirement as a Radiographer? Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is essential for radiographers in the UK to stay at the forefront of a rapidly advancing field. As technology and healthcare standards evolve, ongoing learning ensures radiographers maintain high standards in patient care, imaging quality, and safety protocols. CPD helps radiographers meet the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) requirements, enhancing their skills and competencies while supporting career progression. By engaging in CPD activities—whether through workshops, courses, or reflective practice—radiographers can expand their knowledge, improve patient outcomes, and stay aligned with best practices, making CPD a vital part of professional growth and patient care excellence. #radiography #radiology #uk #hcpc

Patient recruitment and retention are key to keeping your study on track. The reassurance of an MHRA accreditation can help reassure patient participants that their safety is the highest priority.

📸 What does a Radiographer do? It’s not uncommon for Radiographers to often hear the phrase “oh, so do you write the reports?” So, what do radiographers actually do?  Radiographers play a crucial role in healthcare by using advanced technology to help diagnose, monitor and treat medical conditions. Our Radiographers are the experts in capturing high-quality images and providing world class care. Here’s a closer look at what a radiographer does:  Perform Diagnostic Imaging: Radiographers operate imaging equipment (such as X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound machines) to capture detailed images of the body, helping doctors diagnose everything from fractures to tumors.  Ensure Patient Safety & Comfort: Before performing imaging procedures, radiographers explain the process to patients, ensure they are in the correct position, and protect them from unnecessary radiation exposure. Prepare and Maintain Equipment: Radiographers are responsible for ensuring imaging machines are properly calibrated and functioning, and they maintain high standards of hygiene and safety in imaging departments. Assist in Interventional Procedures: Some radiographers support minimally invasive procedures (like biopsies or catheter insertions) by providing imaging guidance, making real-time adjustments to ensure accuracy. Work with a Multidisciplinary Team: Radiographers collaborate closely with radiologists, doctors, and nurses to discuss patient cases, share insights from images, and contribute to diagnosis and treatment planning. Adapt to New Technology: With medical imaging constantly evolving, radiographers stay up-to-date with the latest techniques, software, and tools to ensure the best outcomes for patients. In short, radiographers are highly skilled, award-winning professionals behind the scenes who ensure that patients receive the highest quality imaging, helping doctors and other healthcare professionals make accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ 📸 Some of our team accepting highly commended awards from The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) Quality improvement awards.
