Radiographer

Radiographers are healthcare professionals who use various types of medical imaging to help diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries. They operate equipment such as X-ray, MRI, CT, and ultrasound machines to produce images of the inside of the body. Radiographers work closely with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure patients receive the correct diagnosis and care. Their work is vital for detecting conditions like fractures, tumours, and diseases. Radiographers must follow strict safety procedures to protect themselves and their patients from unnecessary exposure to radiation. This career involves a mix of technical skill, patient interaction, and teamwork. Radiographers can work in hospitals, clinics, or community healthcare settings, and often have opportunities to specialise or move into areas like research, teaching, or management.
