Day-to-day operating brief

What Radiographer work looks like in practice

A radiographer performs diagnostic imaging or radiotherapy procedures while verifying identity, justification, exposure parameters and equipment readiness.

  • Perform examinations within verified competence.
  • Apply authorised exposure and safety controls.
  • Assess image quality before completing attendance.
  • Recognise and escalate urgent or unexpected concerns.
  • Maintain registration and equipment competence.
