Would love to hear stories from our paediatric radiography colleagues @CHIatCrumlin @TempleStreetHos @CHIatConnolly and around the country about how they help a child through the process 🧸

[Emma Rose @Paed_IR_Rad]

Rads who ever have to X-ray children - read the comments on this.

X-raying a toy takes 2 minutes and look at the impact it has. It really shows the patient that x-rays don’t hurt and they will remember how much you cared for their most beloved possession.

[James Gill @DrJamesGill]

While we seem to be some time away from practice like this fantastic initiative by radiographers @nhsuhcw , it does show the possibilities that are there for Irish radiographers as we move forward with advanced practice to deliver more streamlined and efficient patient services

[Andy Creeden @AndyCreeden]

Innovative new pathway at UHCW allowing Adv Prac Radiographers to refer GP patients with sub acute injuries directly into the Virtual Fracture Clinic, smoothing the patient pathway and improving efficiency. The brainchild of the brilliant @MattCurtisXray.

[Radiographers Ireland @RadiographersI]

Disappointing to see that the ESRI did not include figures for radiographers in their projections. Invaluable in strategic planning on a national basis in a profession already suffering with recruitment and retention issues.

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

Ireland's public acute hospitals may need up to 15,500 more staff within 13 years, according to a new ESRI report. The report on workforce requirements said that workforce needs for all staff categories are projected to increase substantially by 2035. | https://t.co/xLBmwdV0t7

[Paul Nolan @pnolan99]

While report looked at select group of @WeHSCPs it unfortunately doesnt appear to have looked at diagnostic staff such as Radiographers, Clinical Measurement Physiologists or Med Lab Scientists for example but cannot imagine any different. Need robust workforce plan for all prof
