Meet the team
Within Radiology, there are a variety of staff that make up the team:
Radiographers
Radiographers are specially trained healthcare professionals who operate imaging equipment. It will be the radiographer who performs your scans. The radiographer may also cannulate, if your scan requires an injection of contrast media. Radiography is regulated by health care professions council.
Radiologists
A Radiologist is a medical doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating disease and injury through the use of medical imaging techniques such as X-Rays, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Fusion Imaging, and Ultrasound. It is unlikely that you will see a radiologist during your visit to the MRI unit.
Nurses
Radiology nurses are trained nurses that have specialised in the field of radiology and will look after the patients for a variety of procedures.
Students
As we are a teaching hospital, you may also come across students from the fields of radiography, medicine and nursing. Depending on their training status, they may just be observing or they may be actively participating in your exam.
Admin and Clerical
The administrative and clerical staff make up the reception staff and those that book appointments as well as other duties that allow the department to run smoothly.
Radiology Department Assistants and Healthcare Assistants
Radiology department assistants and health care assistants help with the daily running of the department and patient care.
Portering staff
Portering staff are utilised by the department for transferring patients from one area of the hospital to another.
