“…A semi-structured interview schedule was developed, based on open topics for discussion, so as to engender free talk rather than eliciting basic guided responses. [25] Interviews were conducted via telephone by the second author, over a period of two months, and subsequently transcribed verbatim. All data analysed in this paper emerged from the simple request "Do you have any comments on the current nationwide shortage of sonographers, and how this may be affecting your own department?"…”

“…This has been echoed in a recent paper by the authors exploring the opportunities and challenges of PM in medical imaging in the contemporary space [6]. Similarly, Sloane and Miller [7] recently explored radiology service managers' views on the radiography curriculum and points to the need for a curriculum that is responsive to the rapidly changing technological, organizational, and social contexts of modern society and health care. PM in medical imaging ranges from the adjustment and use of alternative imaging modalities and exposure parameters to suit patient characteristics and the use of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to determine tumour response radiotherapy treatment [6,8].…”

Introduction: This article explores the application of personalized medicine (PM) within the academic environment in the United Kingdom. There is a growing acceptance of the utility of PM in health care and the role medical imaging can play. In response, this article explored the views and opinions of diagnostic and therapeutic academics and the utilization of PM in education. Methods: This study primarily adopted a quantitative approach using an online survey. However, participants were also encouraged to provide qualitative comments in response to openended questions. The survey was distributed to radiography and radiotherapy academic departments, which received a response rate of 29%. Results: The findings identify some important considerations. On the one hand some participants reported teaching PM on their programmes (24%, n ¼ 16), whereas 30% (n ¼ 20) did not. Importantly, the remaining academics (46%) were either unsure or did not know what PM was. This finding, coincided with qualitative commentary, highlights some discrepancies linked to knowledge and understanding of PM within higher education and highlights areas where academics may need additional support. Conclusion: This article concludes by recognizing the challenges of delivering PM by some academics. It is noted that although the findings cannot be fully generalized, it does highlight fragmented understanding of PM among academic staff. This is important to reflect upon following the increasing requirements for radiography to become ''more personalized.''

IntroductionGraduate radiographers entering their qualified positions need to orientate and familiarise themselves with a rapidly changing work environment to deliver a high standard of diagnostic imaging services. During this transitional phase, these newcomers also strive to meet self‐expectations and workplace expectations. This study was performed to understand the work readiness perspectives and initial experiences of graduate radiographers on beginning their newly qualified roles.MethodsThe study used a qualitative phenomenological approach to collect data through individual semi‐structured in‐depth telephone interviews with 14 purposively sampled undergraduate and postgraduate radiographers. The rich data were transcribed verbatim and then thematically analysed.ResultsFour major themes emerged: (1) preparing to be ‘work‐ready’, (2) initial encounters as qualified radiographers, (3) personal and professional challenges and (4) support strategies and advice for new graduates.ConclusionsNew graduate radiographers face many personal and professional challenges but agree that they thrive in supportive collegial environments. Most participants had a high perspective of their work readiness strongly related to their clinical placements as students, workplace familiarity, support networks and coping strategies. Further review into individual workplace orientations by organisation leaders may benefit the immersion and enhancement of graduate radiographers' initial experiences in their new role.
