- Education and Career Framework for the Radiography Workforce

Education and Career Framework for the Radiography Workforce
Summary
This third version of the Education and Career Framework is intended for the guidance and support of the whole imaging and radiotherapy workforce. It is an interactive web-based tool, which members can use to support their individual professional development in what is, for many, likely to be a portfolio career pathway. In this way, a degree of future-proofing has been built in. This tool enables individuals to navigate a range of learning and development opportunities starting from where they are and includes example pathways, outcomes, indicative curricula where relevant, case studies and a wealth of hyperlinks to relevant websites and resources. The Framework is intentionally non-prescriptive, reflecting the changing service context.
