Verbatim
“Without investment in more radiographers, NHS waiting lists will continue to rise inexorably.”
“Where the cancer plan falls short, however, is in its lack of workforce planning. The plan barely mentions radiographers, despite our key role in diagnosing cancer and planning and delivering radiotherapy.”
“I am absolutely delighted that this initiative has been recognised in this way. Getting people ready for surgery has huge benefits and results in fewer complications and a quicker recovery.”
