Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Radiographer reporting is an essential component of imaging across the United Kingdom. Since the previous policy and practice guidance in 2004 the role and contribution of reporting radiographers has changed significantly. The move to imaging networks further reinforces the need for consistency in scope of practice and clinical governance for radiographer reporting.

KEY FINDINGS: This guidance provides a consistent, evidence-based template for planning a reporting service, resourcing, clinical governance, preceptorship, volume and frequency of reporting, a peer learning framework and expected standards.

CONCLUSION: Developed for North Central and East London, this framework and standards will help reduce unwarranted variation.

IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Consistency in practice could help maximise the contribution of radiographer reporting.
