“…Like nursing, radiography is subject to control by medicine and is considered to be a semiprofession (Nixon 2001); however, radiography has rarely been the subject of interprofessional analyses and so very little is known on its relations with others in the healthcare division of labour. However, as far as broad directions in which the professional discourse of the radiography is moving, radiographers are being actively encouraged by their professional leaders to embrace extending their roles to respond to healthcare needs (Society of Radiographers 2013); indeed in the UK, a cohort of radiography practitioners is already undertaking supplementary prescribing of ionising radiation (Society and College of Radiographers 2012).…”

Evidence-based practice (EBP) offers the integration of the best research evidence with clinical knowledge and expertise and patient values. EBP is a well known term in health care. This paper discusses the implementation of EBP into radiography and introduces the term evidence-based radiography. Evidence-based radiography is radiography informed and based on the combination of clinical expertise and the best available research-based evidence, patient preferences and resources available. In Norway, EBP in radiography is being debated and radiographers are discussing the challenges of implementing EBP in both academic and clinical practice. This discussion paper explains why EBP needs to be a basis for a radiography curriculum and a part of radiographers" practice. We argue that Norwegian radiographers must increase participation in research and developing practice within their specific radiographic domain.

“…Several studies have highlighted that radiation therapyrelated research is required to evaluate new treatment techniques, develop evidence based practice and improve patient care. [1][2][3][4] However, to date, radiation therapists (RTs) in Australia have had little involvement in research and failed to take lead roles in conducting radiation therapy related research projects. Instead, RTs have found themselves in a position where they may be involved in multidisciplinary projects, collecting data for projects designed by radiation oncologists and clinical trials that they may know little about.…”

Research interests identified at the coal‐face: initial Delphi analysis of Australian radiation therapists' perspectives

Radiation therapists (RTs) need to engage more in research for the benefit of their patients and their own professional development. However, radiation therapy in Australia is new to research with an undeveloped research culture, so RTs need direction when wishing to embark upon research projects. This manuscript provides the results of the first stage of a Delphi process aimed at defining RTs' areas of research interest. Questionnaires were sent to all Australian departments of radiation oncology (n = 41) asking for a group in each department to identify what problems they experienced while treating patients or working with colleagues, and what areas of radiation therapy they felt required further research by radiation therapists. The response rate was 70.7%. Of the designated RTs who collected the data, 82.8% had greater than 10 years experience and 48.1% had postgraduate qualifications. Two of the researchers categorised the responses and derived a list of themes to describe the identified questions. Of 410 research questions, 374 could be coded (91.2%). The categories defined were “Staff issues” (58.3%), “Technical issues” (28.9%) and “Patient related issues” (12.9%). The RTs were interested in many research areas, but it is of concern that the largest theme identified was “Staff issues”, which could indicate some dissatisfaction in the workplace. However, it was clear that RTs are thinking about their practice and identifying gaps in knowledge in the technical and patient related areas. The second stage of this project was to create research areas that represented the themes identified in this first stage and send them back to the radiation oncology departments for prioritising; these data are currently being analysed.
