Post qualification, radiographers follow career paths according to a combination of their personal interests and the needs of healthcare services and patients. Promotion opportunities are excellent, with a grading structure that sees the radiographer's salary increase as s/he moves along the career pathway. British radiographers are recognised as receiving excellent training with innovative career paths. The Society and College of Radiographers supports the extension of the scope of practice of members where adequate education, training, and audit of practice provide safe and effective services to meet local patient needs.

If you have any questions regarding this, please do speak to Jo McNamara.
