World Radiography Day (WRD) is celebrated on 8 November each year. The date marks the anniversary of the discovery of x-radiation by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Radiographers worldwide use this day to promote radiography as a career, as a vital contribution to modern healthcare, and as an opportunity to increase public awareness of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy. Radiographers are registered Allied Health Professionals (AHPs). There are two branches of radiography: Diagnostic and Therapeutic. Radiographers are clinical practitioners, managers, leaders, researchers and educators. They work as a team together with support workers, assistant practitioners and radiologists to provide person-centred support and care for patients during screening, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of trauma and disease processes. The profession is dynamic, developing rapidly in response to changing technological, health and patient population needs. Every year, radiographers provide essential healthcare services (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) to millions of people. Radiographers in the UK work under regulation of the The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Radiology consists of x-ray (breast imaging, CT, fluoroscopy/interventional), nuclear medicine, MRI and ultrasound. Many radiographers have the opportunity to extend their role and perform procedures that weren't historically performed by radiologists such as nerve root and hip injections, PICC line insertions, U/S prostate and breast biopsies. Radiology Apprentice Andrea Shaw (pictured below) has set up a fantastic display at Wycombe Hospital in celebration of WRD 2024!
