New document - IM&T: Implications for the radiography workforce
 Irrespective of the four home countries' health departments’ strategies on information management and technology, radiography services will be required to evolve to meet demands that are centred on the needs of patients.
Such redevelopment of radiography services will be more responsive with modern, flexible systems, such as PACS and technology that facilitate remote consultations for cancer patients. Once investment in clinical information systems has been made, it is relatively easy and cost effective to achieve the change and developments needed for imaging and oncology services to be delivered more locally where appropriate.
However, to undertake whole scale redesign of services and to plan for the future of clinical imaging and radiotherapy and oncology services, robust data is required. This type of data will assist managers in informing commissioners and will help ensure good use of resources and greater understanding of what is required for the future. This document aims to distil the key information related to this wide ranging agenda and focus on that which is relevant to the whole radiography profession. It is divided into five sections that address the current issues for radiographers and future directions.
