Do you work as a team in the MRI environment? This advice might be for you.    Hospitals are busy places. We know this. But too often patients are greeted by one person, cannulated by another, positioned by another and scanned by another. As positive as each of these interactions may be, they introduce yet another unfamiliar face to an already overwhelmed, vulnerable person. Can you imagine meeting all male staff, only to hear a female over the intercom? Where is the trust? Where is the comfort? So what can you do to make patients feel seen? - Introduce yourself (Hint: #hellomynameis campaign) - Explain your role – are you helping prepare for the scan or doing the scan? - Limit the number of staff to patients – if the environment allows, consider introducing only the scanning radiographer and assistant/supporting radiographer - Close or pull the door ajar – patients deserve privacy and don’t need to hear staff conversations happening around the corner - If you are taking over mid-examination, tell the patient who you are – they are real people and understand lunch breaks + shift changeover! Working as a team absolutely has benefits for workflow and safety. But patient care is still the priority. #patientcare #healthcare #mri #radiology #radiography

Recently, I started a job as a cardiac sonographer and I want to share what i love about this new career ❤️ Why I Love Being a Cardiac Sonographer As a cardiac sonographer, I have the privilege of working at the intersection of technology and patient care. Each day, I use advanced ultrasound equipment to capture detailed images of patients' hearts, helping to diagnose and monitor various cardiac conditions. This role allows me to make a direct and positive impact on patients' lives, which is incredibly fulfilling. 🔍 What I Love About My Job: Patient Interaction: Building rapport with patients and providing them with comfort and reassurance during their exams. Diagnostic Excellence: Playing a crucial role in the early detection of heart diseases, leading to timely and effective treatments. Continuous Learning: Keeping up with the latest advancements in medical imaging technology and techniques to improve patient outcomes. 🌟 Future Aspirations: I aspire to further my expertise in cardiac sonography by pursuing advanced certifications and specializations. My goal right now is to complete my PhD and utilise the knowledge to contribute to innovative research in cardiovascular health and eventually take on a leadership role where I can mentor and inspire the next generation of sonographers.

Great opportunities

As the creator of the largest social media group for American Radiologists, I have a unique vantage point on the current Radiology market and its evolving demands. Over the last 3 to 4 years, radiologists have been working significantly harder, handling more complicated studies with higher volume and acuity. This increased workload has led to a pressing need for balance and greater support from employers, practices, and institutions. It's a striking juxtaposition: while radiologists are vocal about their intensified workload and the complexities they face, many outside the field are only just beginning to grasp the severity and difficulty of the situation. The ongoing demands from patients, referring physicians, emergency departments, and administrators are exerting unprecedented pressures on radiologists—pressures that I haven't witnessed in my nearly 18 years as an attending radiologist. Understanding and addressing these challenges is crucial. Radiologists are pivotal to the healthcare system, and their well-being directly impacts patient care. It's time for a collective effort to support these essential professionals and ensure a sustainable and balanced working environment. #Radiology #Radiologist #radiologists #Healthcare #MedicalProfession #RadiologistSupport #HealthcareIndustry #MedicalCommunity #WorkLifeBalance
