“…Themes relating to isolation and lack of support remain an issue when individuals undertake “pioneering roles,” particularly outside of traditional imaging arenas.

Skill-mix initiatives have provided opportunities for radiographers to develop roles and achieve their potential, thus contributing to radiographer retention rates and increased job satisfaction. This reflective article explores two radiographic roles within an interprofessional context including the implications for confidence, competence, and future sustainability. These were reporting roles which extended into two modalities, one into bone densitometry and another into ultrasound. This article discusses how successful skill mix can benefit the individual, their department, and NHS organization and that role expansion can develop a more dynamic and resourceful workforce with transferability of skills and attributes.

“…Undertaking CPD is a complex and dynamic process that is influenced by both the individual and their environment [5]. It is known that developing practice and learning new skills in the workplace environment can be problematic and people need support, especially when pushing the boundaries of practice [15]. Individuals can start to think about professional development by identifying their own learning needs and exploring personal strengths and limitations within the context of their working environment.…”

Continuing professional development (CPD) is essential for radiographers to maintain and update their specialised knowledge base in light of constant professional changes. CPD is the continuous and systematic maintenance, improvement, and broadening of knowledge and skills and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties. Professional and regulatory bodies are increasingly relying on proof of CPD through a variety of learning opportunities to provide evidence of clinical competence. Importantly, CPD has been linked not only to competence but also to motivation and job satisfaction. However, for CPD to be embraced fully, the individual needs to see how activity can be planned and recorded in a way that is meaningful to them in the context of their career aspirations. This article will review basic principles of why evidence is needed for CPD, what constitutes evidence (direct and indirect), and how that evidence can be presented. This will be discussed in the context of having a longer-term career vision, and embedded within Donner and Wheeler's five-phase career planning and development model. R ESUM E Le perfectionnement professionnel continu (PPC) est essentiel pour permettre aux radiographes de maintenir et de mettre a jour leur base de connaissances sp ecialis ees au vu de l' evolution continuelle de la profession. Le PPC est « l'entretien, l'am elioration et l' elargissement continu et syst ematique des connaissances et des comp etences et le d eveloppement des qualit es personnelles requises pour l'ex ecution des tâches professionnelles et techniques » Henwood (2000). Les organismes professionnels et r eglementaires s'appuient de plus en plus sur les preuves de PPC par une vari et e d'occasions d'apprentissage dans la d etermination de la comp etence clinique. Il est important de noter que le PPC est li e non seulement aux comp etences, mais aussi a la motivation et a la satisfaction au travail. Cependant, pour que le PPC soit adopt e pleinement, l'individu doit pouvoir constater de quelle façon les activit es peuventêtre planifi ees et consign ees d'une façon significative pour lui dans le contexte de des aspirations de carri ere. Cet article passe en revue les principes de base autour desquels s'articule le besoin de preuves du PPC, ce qui constitue une preuve (directe ou indirecte) et comment ces preuves peuventêtre pr esent ees. Ces el ements sont trait es dans le contexte d'une vision de carri ere a long terme, et inscrite dans le mod ele de planification et d eveloppement de carri ere en cinq phases d evelopp e par Donner & Wheeler (2001).

“…81 Role extension and role expansion deployed in the area of a given profession pave the way to develop fresh educational pathways in a discipline. 82 This theme can serve as a model for spreading the essence of HIM roles and responsibilities on the cutting edge of IT. Davis and LaCour 83 depict HIM as a profession dealing in the sources and application of health information and that collects, stores, retrieves, and reports it.…”

Combining all required skills and expertise to handle personal and public dimensions of healthcare information in a single curriculum is simply impractical. Role expansion and role extension for HIM professionals should be defined based on the essence of HIM roles and responsibilities. Forming a curriculum development team consisting of various professional profiles brings divergent views regarding the HIM curriculum and paves the way for HIM to branch out at the Master's and Ph.D. levels based on advanced information technology.
