Radiographers At The Forefront of Patient Safety
World Radiography Day celebrates and recognizes the knowledge, skills, expertise, and care that radiology plays in the support of patients by radiologists, radiographers, and radiology technologists as frontline healthcare professionals.
The World Radiography Day theme, “Radiographers at the Forefront of Patient Safety”, highlights the role that radiologists, radiographers/ radiological technologists play in promoting and maintaining radiation safety and general patient safety in all aspects of the patient journey.
This day was created to mark the anniversary of the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Radiographers worldwide celebrate this day, and create public awareness around diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy as well as promote the radiographers’ vital role as part of the healthcare team, specifically the frontline role, radiology plays in patient care.
Radiographers/ Radiological Technologists play a crucial role in applying their protocols and procedures ensuring safe practice not only in radiation but also other areas of engagement with patients.
