Abstract

The European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS) represents, promotes and develops the radiography profession within Europe and across all radiography specialisations. With 45 national professional bodies as members and 66 academic institutions that deliver radiography education also as members the EFRS actively supports over 105,000 radiographers and 8,500 radiography students. Radiographers play a crucial role within medical imaging, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy. Radiographers combine their interpersonal and technical skills to work together with patients and (ever evolving) medical technology. Central to the role is effective communication skills and an understanding of the importance of patient care and safety aspects. The EFRS publishes a number of statements, research publications and delivers webinars to further develop the profession and to build a stronger culture surrounding patient safety within the radiographers’ practice all across Europe.
