Consultant Radiographer education, development, and training

(Links last checked on 14 May 2020)

Consultant Radiographer education, training, and development should centre upon the  four core components of the consultant radiographer role; a) professional leadership & consultancy, b) education, training & development; c) practice & service development, research, & evaluation; d) expert clinical practice.

Guidance for consultant radiographers  in the form of an education and career framework is provided by the College of Radiographers (2013) https://www.sor.org/learning/document-library/education-and-career-framework-radiography-workforce and a role evaluation tool.

There are many recently published peer reviewed articles available  by clicking on the link to Radiography journal https://www.sor.org/learning/library-publications/radiography.

Additionally if you work in the NHS, your local NHS Trust library will verify a username and password for you to access Open Athens journals. There is a link to apply online here.
