Wow. Thank you so much. Pretty much in shock, especially given how many amazing teams there are in the region. This really goes to all our amazing guests who make Rad Chat what it is. Thank you so very much, it means so much to us.

Today diagnostic and therapeutic radiographers across the UK go on strike. 9/10 NHS patients will be seen by a member of the radiography workforce. We diagnosis traumas in the middle of the night, we treat your loved one’s cancer and we support you to live with and beyond cancer.
We are also incredibly proud to say that we have won the European Federation of Radiographer Societies Patient-Centred Care award 2022!! Again, we’d like to thank all our guests and everyone who helped with submitting a video for our entry.

No raise no rays! Second day of the 48 hour radiographer strike. Did you know that we’re missing 10% of the workforce within radiography? One of the many reasons we are striking, demanding better pay and conditions from the government. Please keep supporting us ❤️.
Thank you
@timfarron
for highlighting the need for better access to

a vital cancer treatment. How will we get any support from this government when they don’t even know the difference between diagnostic hubs and radiotherapy??

Rad Chat is helping to raise the profile of therapeutic radiographers, as recruitment nationally is slow. If you’re a therapeutic radiographer and would like to help create some talking heads about why people should consider the career please get in touch! Thank you!

We understand Radiotherapy can come paired with confusing terminology.
This mini-series focusses on terms that you may hear when discussing your Radiotherapy treatment, written as patient-friendly descriptions that hopefully are easier to understand.

1. When I was planning this post, I started thinking about what patients would like to know about the signs in the radiotherapy department, but then I got thinking, where did the radiation symbol originate from? The radioactive ‘trefoil’ began life in…
So, since we started Rad Chat we’ve not had a day off social media. We are so thankful to everyone supporting us. We are taking 4 days off to eat chocolate! Take care everyone and huge love goes to all our colleagues working in oncology over the bank holidays!

1. *Trigger Warning* Ever wondered what happens in a radiotherapy treatment room? Here you can see how the therapeutic radiographers will get you into position, lying on our hard couch. You may be given some sponges to place under your knees to make you more comfortable.
We are back! Happy New Year Everyone. Our first Tweet of the New Year had to be to introduce Leigha Yardley (soon to join Twitter!) to the team. As a third year radiotherapy student, Leigha will be dedicated to education, career promotion and transitioning to qualification.
