Passionate discussion re. planning for, retaining, motivating the Radiographer workforce ... Rads are still undervalued (*add other "under-") by Radiology(ists?) 15 yrs ago I set up the 1st Scottish PG CT Head Reporting for Radiographers ... (tumbleweed) 😭😫 SCoR Scotland Members #AGM22

Thoroughly enthused by Dr Christina Malamateniou (she/her) talk, explaining ways AI can support Radiographers in delivering the best patient-centred care 👏 Champion of embracing new technology so we have time to retain the 'human touch' 🥰 SCoR Scotland Members Canon Medical Systems Europe #AGM22

Amazing use of VERT simulation to inform, reassure and open discussions with patients before they receive the cancer radiotherapy treatment 💻🥰☢️ Kudos to my Radiotherapy Radiographer colleagues for leading this valuable innovative service 👏 SCoR Scotland Members #AGM22 #Radiographer

I am always in awe of superstar Radiographers who are undertaking their PhD 🤓🤯 Outside of diagnosis, can AI have a impact for Radiology via assistive decision support for referrals ... watch this space says Claire Currie!🤔🎓 SCoR Scotland Members

The Sunday Times tried to answer why Britain lags so many other countries on cancer survival. In brief British people are slower to come forward; GPs act as gatekeepers to hold back demand; because the NHS lacks diagnostic & treatment capacity & staff to cope with said demand:

"Projections showed the need for an extra 450 000 social care posts by 2035. Where will they come from?" David Oliver laments the lack of a future-proof plan for social care, or even a present-proof one bmj.com/content/379/bm…

Utterly bizarre that politicians who have their meals subsidised by the taxpayer say there is no money to feed hungry kids in schools. Over just 3 years, the public have forked out over £17m to subsidise MPs' meals. There's plenty of money; it's just going to the wrong places.

World Radiography Day marks the discovery of x-radiation by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895 ☢ I am proud to be a part of the Radiography community, and express my gratitude and admiration to all my colleagues in clinical, academia, research, and industry 👏 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ 🤗 #WRD22 #radiography

More evidence (if it was needed) of the valuable contribution of Reporting Radiographers AND a huge glimpse of what Radiology could look like in the UK with more investment in staffing!

Not to distract from all the amazing #UKIO2023 talks ... BUT ... I can't take another year of seeing these doors without an explanation 🙈 Answers on a postcard, please 🤣 UKIOCongress
