Diagnostic Image Reporting is a rewarding career role to have developed for Diagnostic Radiographers’ career progression in recent years. It not only offers exciting and challenging professional development opportunities to the individual but also provides evidence-based quality and economic benefits to employers.
Reporting by Radiographers is a requirement for the future of the health service. Following the spending reviews, the Department of Health in England and Wales stressed the need to encourage the NHS to train Radiographers to report in line with best practice. Within Scotland, the importance of developing a robust Radiographer Reporting resource was since reinforced in an AHP National Delivery Plan.
