Evaluation of the induction programme for newly qualified radiographers: A survey study.

Introduction: The role of radiographers is continuously expanding and holds a key position in the healthcare system due to the increasing complexity in patient care and support. Therefore, with a rise of demand for increasingly specialized and advanced skills, it is important to provide newly hired professionals with structured induction programs. This study proposes to explore the perceptions of newly qualified radiographers who have already experienced transition into practice.

A tutor training framework for radiographers: Basic concepts to effectively train future generations of professionals.

Introduction: Clinical practice is crucial for the professional development of radiographers. To effectively benefit from their training, students need guidance from well-trained and competent tutors. However, the literature lacks evidence of training programs specifically designed for radiographer tutors.

Sustainable radiology departments: A European survey to explore radiographers' perceptions of environmental and energy sustainability issues.

Introduction: The environmental impact of radiology and radiotherapy activities is influenced by the energy consumption of equipment, the life cycle of consumables, waste generation, and CO emissions caused by staff travel. This study aims to investigate radiographers' perception and knowledge of environmental sustainability issues.

Methods: An online survey was created and distributed to European radiographers and therapeutic radiographers.

Harnessing ChatGPT dialogues to address claustrophobia in MRI - A radiographers' education perspective.

Introduction: The healthcare sector invests significantly in communication skills training, but not always with satisfactory results. Recently, generative Large Language Models, have shown promising results in medical education. This study aims to use ChatGPT to simulate radiographer-patient conversations about the critical moment of claustrophobia management during MRI, exploring how Artificial Intelligence can improve radiographers' communication skills.

The environmental impact of energy consumption and carbon emissions in radiology departments: a systematic review.

Objectives: Energy consumption and carbon emissions from medical equipment like CT/MRI scanners and workstations contribute to the environmental impact of healthcare facilities. The aim of this systematic review was to identify all strategies to reduce energy use and carbon emissions in radiology.

Methods: In June 2023, a systematic review (Medline/Embase/Web of Science) was performed to search original articles on environmental sustainability in radiology.
