Much more than other disciplines and specialties in medicine, radiology is teamwork. The team consists of certified radiologists, residents/registrars in training, radiographers, nurses, physicists, technical support staff, managers, etc.
The working relationships between these various professional groups are much closer than in almost all other hospital departments. And, at the end of the day, the quality of our performance depends on the strength of the entire team.
The aims of the EFRS are to support development of the radiography profession in order to continually support national societies in developing services for patients. This development cannot happen in isolation and team working is essential.
We are pleased to collaborate with ESR to further these goals and through the annual ECR conference which is enabling Radiographers to have a European opportunity to share their research findings, to discuss and debate practice and to network with colleagues within the whole
Imaging team.
The new 'Shape your Skills' programme has been installed and exclusively financed by the ESR in view of the continued professional development of radiographers.
It is dedicated to radiographers at the beginning of their career and supports 500 professionals by giving them free registration for the ECR and two nights hotel accommodation.
Are you a radiographer in your first five years of practice? Then you are eligible to apply!
Application is possible from July 3 to October 10, 2017.
The 'Invest in the Youth' programme supports 1,000 young professionals by giving them free registration for the ECR and up to four nights hotel accommodation.
Are you a radiographer in training under the age of 30? Then you are eligible to apply!
Application is possible from July 3 to October 10, 2017.
