Enhancing Inclusive Practice Training for the Radiographic Workforce

The sessions, exclusively for SoR members, will be delivered by a topic expert and have been designed in consultation with professionals working in clinical practice, ensuring the content reflects the duties and responsibilities of the radiographic workforce and the specific challenges around working with ionising radiation and making clinical evaluations.
