Who will scoop radiography's top prize? You decide!

Don't miss your chance to put forward the name of the radiographer and radiography team who you think deserves to be recognised for their excellent work.

There are many reasons why radiographers like you decide to put forward the name of an individual and a team so that they can be recognised by the profession and by the public.

Winners receive extensive publicity in Synergy News and in the local, regional and national media. “The awards are the ideal opportunity to raise the profile of radiographers and the work that they do,” says Zena Mitton, the Society’s president.

“It means so much to the nominees, their colleagues, family and friends. One of the highlights is the presentations, which take place at the House of Commons before an invited audience of the ‘great and the good’ of radiography, plus members of parliament and a high profile guest who presents the awards.”

Another benefit is that the profile of the individual’s or team’s department increases dramatically.

“Everyone in the hospital from the chief executive to the department manager are aware that a member of staff or a team has won a high profile, nationally recognised award,” Richard Evans, the SoR’s chief executive comments.

“In addition, it is a brilliant opportunity to gain greater recognition for the profession and the work that radiographers do. We all get frustrated when patients and even other health professionals don’t have the first idea of our role, either in diagnostic or therapeutic radiography.

“Every year when the awards are held, awareness of who we are and what we do increases as the media helps us to celebrate some of the best practitioners in the profession.”
