Discussion: Critically appraise imaging service provision with regards to offering a quality patient experience

Background

“Imaging has a role in the diagnosis and treatment of illness in so many different patient populations. It is vital that Radiographers are able to understand and support the needs of people, and their carers. Not only is this because all patients are entitled to the best possible, personalised care but, vitally, understanding and meeting the differing care needs of people will ensure the best outcomes from imaging.”

(Adapted from SCoR, 2015, p1)*
