About the programme

This interview considers whether you understand diagnostic radiography as both a technical and patient-facing profession. The panel looks for careful communication, respect for safety and dignity, and an interest in using imaging to answer a clinical question rather than technology for its own sake.

How to prepare

  1. Learn the broad purposes of common imaging methods and the radiographer's part in each examination.
  2. Review basic principles of patient identification, radiation safety, consent and confidentiality.
  3. Prepare an example of remaining calm while helping someone who felt anxious or uncomfortable.
  4. Think about how anatomy, physics and communication all contribute to a useful image.
  5. Practise answering scenarios by stating what you would check and when you would seek supervision.

Common mistakes

  • Focusing on machines while overlooking the person undergoing the examination.
  • Suggesting that speed is more important than identity checks or safe exposure.
  • Assuming that anxious patients are being difficult instead of exploring their concern.
