Professional identity and role perception of Radiographers and Clinical Technologists in Nuclear Medicine – An exploratory qualitative study
An awareness of Professional Identity (PI), an individual's identity in relation to their professional group, and Role Perception (RP), an individual's view of their specific role, may enable safe and effective practice by providing an understanding of professional boundaries, behaviours and activities. This research aimed to explore and gain an understanding of the PI and RP of Radiographers and Clinical Technologists working as Nuclear Medicine Technologists (NMT's). (Source: Radiography)

Reporting radiographers in Europe survey: Support, role satisfaction, and advanced clinical practice within the European federation of radiographer society (EFRS) member countries
Increasing number of radiographers are undertaking image reporting throughout Europe. However, there are variations in practice and experience in European countries. The study aim was to investigate reporting radiographer's perceptions in relation to support for their role and workload satisfaction and elements of advanced practice that may also be undertaken.

Organisational barriers and facilitators to the implementation of best practices within paediatric forensic radiographic practice – A scoping review
Implementation and application of evidence-based practice through legislation, international and national guidelines and local protocols is integral to the successful undertaking of forensic radiographic practice, because of its medico-legal role. This research aims to evaluate those organisational barriers and facilitators to its effective implementation. (Source: Radiography)

What makes a good clinical practice experience in radiography and sonography? An exploration of qualified clinical staff and student perceptions
Clinical practice can be a challenging experience for some healthcare students. The quality of the clinical experience can have a profound effect on the overall student learning experience in clinical practice and attrition. The aim of the study was to explore the perceptions of an optimal clinical practice experience by radiography and sonography students and qualified clinical staff. (Source: Radiography)

Exploring the experiences of parents of Autistic children when attending the diagnostic imaging department for an X-ray examination
Autism is a neuro-developmental condition which affects the social-emotional skills, behaviour, language, communication skills and flexibility of thoughts of an individual and their sensory processing. This can result in Autistic service users finding it difficult to navigate current healthcare provision and cope with the unpredictable environment. This paper explores the experiences of parents of Autistic children when attending the diagnostic imaging department for an X-ray examination. (Source: Radiography)

Real-time x-ray abnormality alerts for emergency departments using a radiographer comment model - a multisite pilot study
The timely communication of clinically significant image appearances to Emergency Department (ED) referrers is necessary for optimum patient care. Australian reliance on verbal communication only is time-limited, open to misinterpretation and lacks transparency. A combined radiographer alert and comment model was designed to reliably communicate image abnormalities to ED referrers in real-time. (Source: Radiography)
