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 – at Liverpool, England

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!

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 in 1895, and is used to celebrate Radiographers contribution to modern healthcare and increase awareness of their role. There will be many posts on SoMe (#WRD22); however here are some quick facts I thought I would share:
☢️ Lastly, Radiography is a profession in its own right with many career pathways (clinical, academia, research, industry), all which have patient care at the heart of our work

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?"
@mancunianmedic laments the lack of a future-proof plan for social care, or even a present-proof one

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 @clairecurrie9!🤔🎓 @SCoRScotland
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 👏 @SCoRScotland #AGM22 #Radiographer
Thoroughly enthused by @CMalamateniou 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' 🥰 @SCoRScotland @CanonMedicalEU #AGM22
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) 😭😫 @SCoRScotland #AGM22
