Assess and understand a wide range of clinical information from a variety of clinical or specialist disciplines and perform examinations autonomously making decisions about the need for further imaging to aid diagnosis, taking into account any pathology identified on the images. This minimises the need to recall patients. Ensure that images acquired are accurate and diagnostic in accordance with best practice and in a manner that meets professional, departmental and legal standards / requirements, taking into account patient limitations, adapting technique where necessary and minimising radiation dose where possible acting as patient advocate in radiation protection issues. Maintain a high level of expertise in the safe operation of specialist radiology equipment, demonstrate a high level of competency and understanding in a range of specialist procedures and manage faults effectively. Act independently in the assessment of referrals for X-Ray examinations, taking full responsibility for the justification of general X-Ray examinations in order to reduce unnecessary ionising radiation exposure of patients in accordance with IR(ME)R 2017. Work as part of a team to ensure effective communication with patients, relatives, carers and other members of the multidisciplinary team, ensuring any observed changes in the patient’s condition are effectively communicated and prioritise workload depending on the severity of a patient condition and the direct impact on their management.
