Encourage your colleagues in your region to bake Radiology/Radiation themed goodies on World Radiography Day 2018 to have a bit of fun as well as fundraise!

World Radiography Day is celebrated on 8 November every year, marking the anniversary of the discovery of x-radiation by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Medical Radiation Technologists worldwide are encouraged to use the day to promote radiography as a career and a vital contribution to modern healthcare, as well as an opportunity to increase public awareness of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy.

On Thursday 8th November 2018 take your baking to work and ask for gold coin donations from your colleagues to enjoy morning tea in each department.

Members are asked to post photos to the NZIMRT Facebook page – get your colleagues to comment on what was the tastiest!

 Finalists will be determined by the NZIMRT and will be based on comments by members and baking that looks most impressive and of course most radiology related!

Winner will be decided by people’s choice via Facebook.

NZIMRT will fund a departmental/practice morning tea for the winning tearoom.

Please go ahead and explore the NZIMRT website.  As an NZIMRT member you will have access to the members only area and myCPD online portal, a valuable resource.  In addition members have access to the eIntegrity online learning portal … why wait?  Login and get started!
