World Radiography Day, established to commemorate Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of x-rays in 1895, is celebrated annually to raise awareness about the vital role of medical imaging in diagnosing and treating diseases. This year's theme, “Radiographers: Seeing the Unseen”, emphasises the essential contributions of radiographers in healthcare, as they utilise imaging technology to detect and diagnose conditions that are not visible to the naked eye. Radiography professionals around the globe use this day to promote radiography as a career and to enhance public understanding of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy.
At Ramsay Health Care, developing and delivering exceptional diagnostic services daily for our patients is a key strategic focus. Our diagnostic strategy is essential for driving growth across both our mobile imaging fleet and hospital-based radiology departments. Access to diagnostic imaging is paramount to determining a patient’s surgical pathway or prognosis, and ensuring we provide fast access to these important services for our patients is an absolute priority.
Clare House, Head of Diagnostic Services for Ramsay Health Care, said,
“It is important to take a moment and recognise World Radiography Day. Our teams work tirelessly to maintain patient safety and deliver excellent imaging services to our patients. It is fantastic to celebrate this important day, and I would like to say we are extremely proud of everyone involved in diagnostic services at Ramsay Health Care.
Delivering our strategy is fundamental to our activity, growth, and strategic direction, and this would not be possible without our amazing teams.”
