Exploring end of life care provision during medical imaging in hospitals: Analysis of survey data from the UK radiography workforce.

Introduction: Patients receiving end-of-life care often undergo medical imaging examinations in hospitals to inform symptom management and care. Yet little is known about the experiences of the radiography workforce who deliver it. This study aims to describe and explore experiences of the UK radiography workforce delivering medical imaging as part of patients' end-of-life care.

Enablers and barriers to delivering person centred dementia care: Perceptions and experiences of diagnostic and therapeutic radiography practitioners.

Introduction: There is a lack of evidence about the experiences of radiographers providing care to people living with dementia (PLWD). This study explored the perceptions and experiences of radiography practitioners when delivering person-centred dementia care (PCDC) in both diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy departments.

Methods: A two-phase qualitative multi-method study was conducted.

Understanding experiences of the radiography workforce delivering medical imaging as part of patients' end of life care: An exploratory qualitative interview study.

Introduction: People nearing the end of life often require medical imaging in hospitals to manage symptoms and care, despite this little is known about the experiences of those delivering it. The aim of this study is therefore to explore the experiences of the radiography workforce delivering medical imaging as part of patients' end-of-life care.

Method: Qualitative design using semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis.

Delivering person-centred dementia care: Perceptions of radiography practitioners within diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy departments.

Introduction: Despite abundant literature on the diagnosis of dementia, limited research has explored the lived experiences of radiography practitioners when providing care to people living with dementia in the department.

Objectives: This qualitative study explored the perceptions and compatibility of current professional guidance by both diagnostic imaging and radiotherapeutic radiography practitioners as well as the key stakeholders involved with developing the Society and College of Radiographers clinical practice guidelines for caring for people with dementia.

Methods: This was a two-phase multi-method study.

Optimising care and the patient experience for people living with dementia: The perceptions of radiography practitioners.

Introduction: Despite abundant literature on the diagnosis of dementia, limited research has explored the lived experiences by radiography practitioners when delivering care to people living with dementia (PLWD). This study explored the perceptions and compatibility of current professional guidance by both radiography practitioners and key stakeholders involved in developing the Society and College of Radiographers clinical practice guideline document for caring for people with dementia.

Methods: This was a two-stage qualitative multi-method study.
