World Radiography Day is celebrated on 8 November each year. The date marks the anniversary of the discovery of x-radiation by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895.
Members of the profession worldwide use the day to promote radiography and radiation therapy as careers, as a vital contribution to modern healthcare and as a chance to increase public awareness of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy.
This year, 2020, the NZIMRT is encouraging you to reflect on the impact the Covid 19 pandemic is having on your colleagues around the world. Becoming an Associate member of the International Society of Radiographers & Radiological Technologists (ISRRT) can help support our profession through the development of educational materials, collaboration with WHO supporting basic safety guides & the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) promoting radiation safety practices. This year the ISRRT role has extended to the provision of materials in support of safe practice in the radiation sciences, diagnostic & therapeutic, during Covid 19. For an average cost of NZ$30.00 per year (£30.00 for 3 years) you can make a positive difference to the profession worldwide!

Celebrate your profession
2020 has been a very challenging year internationally and one that has not provided many reasons to celebrate, however on World Radiography Day we want to encourage you to share the successes of our profession and help others to understand the important work that you do.
It’s a great opportunity to talk to patients and carers, students and colleagues about all that our profession offers.
Thank-you
The NZIMRT would like to express their gratitude to our amazing members and colleagues overseas who have designed posters that raise awareness of the role of our profession during this incredibly challenging time.
