Radiographer

Radiographer operating a CT scannerA radiographer is a person who has been trained to take your x-ray or perform your MRI or CT scan. If a radiographer has been trained to perform an ultrasound, he/she may be called a sonographer. If you have an interventional procedure (such as an angiogram or biopsy) a radiographer will be part of the team looking after you.

Radiographers complete a three year degree course in diagnostic imaging. All radiographers must be registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC) before they are allowed to work in the UK.

At Guy’s and St Thomas’ we have a team of about 120 radiographers. A superintendent radiographer is in charge of most of the clinical areas, e.g. CT, MRI, general x-ray, A&E and the interventional areas.

Female radiographers wear white tunics and male radiographers wear maroon coloured polo shirts. Radiographers who work in the interventional suites always wear theatre scrubs.

Radiologist
Radiologist in theatre scrubsA radiologist is a doctor who is specially trained to interpret diagnostic images such as x-rays, MRI and CT scans. If you have an interventional procedure (such as an angiogram or biopsy) a radiologist will perform the procedure. Sometimes ultrasound scans may be performed by a radiologist.

Radiologists provide a written report of the results of your examination which he or she will send to your doctor.

In our radiology department we have a team of 26 consultant radiologists and 35 specialist registrars.

Radiologists do not wear a uniform, unless they are working in the interventional suites where they wear theatre scrubs.

See a list of our radiology consultants.

Radiology nurse
The role of our radiology nurses is to help the team during interventional procedures and to care for the patients in the recovery areas afterwards.

Nurses complete a three year degree course. All nurses must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council before they are allowed to work in the UK.

In our radiology department we have a team of 20 nurses, led by a matron.

Nurses can be recognised by their uniform, unless they are working in the interventional suites where they wear theatre scrubs.

Health care assistant (HCA) and radiography department assistant (RDA)
The role of the HCA and RDA is to support radiologists, radiographers and nurses, and to help patients. They may get you ready for your examination, for example getting you changed into a gown, giving you a drink before a CT scan or helping you to complete a questionnaire before your MRI scan.

In our radiology department we have a team of 14 HCAs and RDAs.

Administration and clerical team
A member of the administration and clerical team will greet you when you arrive at one of our reception areas. They will check that we have all your details and that they are correct, before booking you onto our computer system.

Our 38 strong team includes:

secretaries – our secretaries type reports and provide a support service for our medical staff and management team
IT specialists – we have a team that looks after our computer systems, including a system for recording your personal details and a record of your examinations, as well as a separate system on which all x-ray and scan images are stored
clerical staff – our clerical team books appointments and answer queries

Radiation Oncologist
A radiation oncologist is a medical doctor who has special training in management of patients with cancer, in particular involving the use of radiotherapy, as one area of their cancer treatment.

They also have expertise in the treatment of noncancerous conditions using radiotherapy. Radiation oncologists are responsible for monitoring the patient and organising imaging and other tests, in order to create and action a management plan for a patient.

Radiation oncologists work closely with other medical specialists, especially surgeons, medical oncologists and palliative care physicians, as part of a team caring for patients with cancer. Radiation oncologists also work closely with radiation oncology medical physicists and radiation therapists to plan and deliver radiotherapy.

Radiation oncologists have an important role in communicating with patients, their family members and other carers in the management of the patient’s cancer and overall care.

Radiation oncologists have overall responsibly for determining and setting the most suitable amount of radiation (from high energy X-rays, electron beams or gamma rays) to deliver to a patient and the way that this will be carried out.

What Is a Radiologist?
Radiologists are medical doctors that specialize in diagnosing and treating injuries and diseases using medical imaging (radiology) procedures (exams/tests) such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and ultrasound.

Radiologists complete at least 13 years of training, including medical school, a four-year residency, and most often, an additional one- or two-year fellowship of very specialized training, such as radiation oncology, pediatric radiology, or interventional radiology. They are certified by the American Board of Radiology, and they have exacting requirements for continuing medical education throughout their practicing years.

Clinical radiologists are medically qualified doctors specialising in the investigation and diagnosis of a range of clinical conditions and diseases, using a variety of imaging techniques such as:

computed tomography (CT) scans
fluoroscopy
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
ultrasound
X-rays.
As a clinical radiologist, you'll be responsible for reporting most imaging procedures and will also perform many of the interventional procedures. You'll work closely as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes radiographers, other doctors and medical staff from a range of specialties and will provide expert guidance and advice.

Types of radiology
As a clinical radiologist you may focus on either diagnostic radiology or interventional radiology (the only sub-specialty recognised by the General Medical Council (GMC)), or on a mixture of the two:

diagnostic radiology - involves finding out what is clinically wrong with patients using a range of imaging techniques. You can develop a special interest in a variety of clinical areas including paediatric, musculoskeletal or cardiac.
interventional radiology - concerned with image-guided pin-hole surgery to treat a variety of conditions, from life threatening aneurysms and haemorrhages to joint, tendon and muscle injuries, in the least invasive way.
Responsibilities
As a clinical radiologist, you'll need to:

use images to diagnose, treat and manage a variety of medical conditions and diseases
offer specialist expertise and guidance to other doctors and staff from a range of medical specialties
liaise with other medical and non-medical staff in hospital settings to ensure quality treatment
examine patient anatomy, pathology, clinical history and previous imaging
select appropriate radiology techniques for patient diagnosis
assess and support patients through various diagnostic and interventional radiology procedures
undertake minimally invasive techniques to guide and direct a variety of interventional treatments throughout the body
manage the health and safety of your patients and the radiology team by minimising radiation exposure
write up imaging reports and report on cases to multidisciplinary team meetings
carry out teaching of junior staff, auditing and research.
Salary
The basic starting salary for junior hospital doctor trainees at Foundation Training level is £26,614 in the first year, rising to £30,805 in the second year. As a trainee doctor you'll receive a basic salary plus salary enhancements for any hours which fall into the unsocial hour periods.
As a trainee at specialty level you can earn between £36,461 and £46,208. Salaries for specialty doctors (staff grade) range from £37,923 to £70,718.
The salary for newly qualified consultants starts at £76,761, rising to £103,490 for consultants with 10 to 19 years' experience.
Allowances are paid for working nights, weekends and being on call. You will automatically be enrolled in the NHS pension scheme but you can opt out.

Consultants may apply for local and national Clinical Excellence Awards and are also able to supplement their salary by working in private practice.

Figures relate to the pay and conditions of medical doctors within the NHS, which is the largest employer of radiologists in the UK.

Income data from NHS Health Careers. Figures are intended as a guide only.

working hours
Junior radiologists often work long and unsocial hours, including weekends and nights (usually on a rota basis). On-call or out-of-hours work for consultants can vary depending on the type of hospital you're working at, especially if there are a limited number of specialty trainees. However, most clinical radiologists find that a good work-life balance is possible.

Part-time work is also an option and there are opportunities to train on a less than full-time basis. Currently, around one-fifth of clinical radiologists work part time.

What to expect
You'll spend a large part of your time writing and reporting on imaging procedures, including follow up with a range of healthcare professionals. The amount of contact you have with patients varies depending on the role you specialise in. If you work in ultrasound, fluoroscopy or breast imaging, for example, you're likely to work with patients more regularly. This also applies to interventional radiography.
On-call work is regarded as a key part of training in radiology and may increase at consultant level, depending on the type and size of the employing hospital.
Jobs are available at NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK.
The work can be challenging, especially with the increase in the number of interventions and evolving imaging techniques. However, it can also be rewarding as you're able to diagnose and treat illnesses more quickly than in the past. On-call work can be particularly pressured, especially if you need to travel between hospital sites.
Currently, 39% of trainee radiologists are women, compared with 61% of men (Clinical Radiology UK Workforce Report 2015

Hmmmm, you've not seen anything.

I have been on night duty with two ward maids who doubles as my assistants, with three patients in active phase of labour.
I have delivered babies with Nokia torchlight strapped on my hairnet, sutured perineal tears with kerosene lanterns.

No wonder my professional colleagues are writing NCLEX-RN, GFNS, TOEFL and other exams with acronyms I can't remember just to get at of this hellhole.

@topic, nurses are always at the receiving end because they are at the forefront of health service delivery.

God will bless and reward you. Have worked with nurses and can't imagine their selfless services. Imagine a nurse working as a 'nurse', attendant and as a cleaner. Please if u can write the above mentioned exams, u should better write and go to a place where u are appreciated. Don't know when we will reach the 4 patient per Nurse ratio.

Imagine 1 doctor covering a general hospital, 2 nurses on duty in LW with more than 5 women in active Labour. God bless Nigerian Nurses( some are mean sha) God bless Nigerian Doctors and other health workers.

Akwa Ibom Civil Servants Employed Since Nov/Dec 2014 Have Not Been Paid A Dime by playtheblues: 9:00pm On Oct 02
It is with deep sorrow that I write this.
We Akwaibomites are usually very peaceful and are not the types to complain easily. This is the reason why Udom Emmanuel thinks he can do anything to us and get away with it.
While Udom is busy building mansions in his village and who-knows-elsewhere we the latest employed staff of Akwa Ibom Civil Service (employed since Nov/Dec 2014) have not received even a kobo of our salaries from the Government and we are expected to come to work daily.
Most of us have been borrowing money from people and our sponsors are now tired of supporting us.
It is going to a year since we were employed, yet our salaries have been withheld all in the name of countless biometrics.
Udom has fixed our money in the bank to attract interests for him.
Everyday we are asked to sign one paper or the other in the name of bank verification yet we have not seen any salary.
Some of us who are posted to far places spend a lot of money on transportation to and from work yet Udom does not care.
My lawyer cousin who was also employed with me told me that they sponsor themselves to courts, prisons and police stations daily without any salary. They also sponsored themselves to Bar Conference in Abuja in August 2015 without even a single penny support from Udom/the Government.
The engineers are not left out as they are sent out to the field in a scorching sun with empty stomachs.
Human Rights activists in Nigeria please intervene in this matter. The masses should please join us into talking sense into our obviously selfish Governor into paying us our accumulated salaries.
I am a married man with a family to support. Udom please don't make us think of commiting suicide like that civil servant in Bayelsa who committed suicide due to unpaid 13-month salaries. Don't reduce us to beggars/chronic borrowers either.
We are tired of this hardship! We are grieving.

This is so sad and pathetic. Civil servants employed since Nov are yet to get a penny. Doctors employed since september attend to patients frustrated and hungry, Nurses, lovely radiologist, lab scientist and other health workers are wallowing in poverty, yet they are currently the main workforce in the health sector.
Even heard AKSU staff are yet to be paid too.
This is unacceptable. Till they commit suicide?
This is pathetic and an act of wickedness.
