Introduction: The United Kingdom (UK) government's healthcare policy in the early 1990s paved the way for healthcare professionals to adopt wider clinical practice roles, resulting in the skills mix development and implementation of diagnostic radiographers' X-ray reporting service in clinical practice. Current clinical practice within the public UK healthcare system reflects the same pressures of increased demand in patient imaging and limited capacity of the reporting workforce (radiographers and radiologists) as in the 1990s. This study aimed to identify, define and assess the implementation of the diagnostic radiographer X-ray reporting service in the National Healthcare System (NHS) in England, which have impacted the implementation and expansion of this advanced practice. Methods: Multiple independent databases were searched, including PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE; Embase; CINAHL, and Google Scholar, as well as journal databases (Scopus, Wiley), healthcare databases (NHS Evidence Database; Cochrane Library) and grey literature databases (OpenGrey, GreyNet International, and the British Library EthOS depository). A combination of keywords, Boolean logic, truncation, parentheses and wildcards with inclusion/exclusion criteria and a time frame of 1995-2022 was applied. The resulting literature was assessed against Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal checklists. The results were displayed in a PRISMA flow chart and a thematic matrix. Results: The wide and diverse range of data (n=241 papers) identified barriers and enablers of implementation, which were categorised into measures of macro, meso, and micro levels, and thematic categories of context, culture, environment, and leadership. Conclusion: The literature since 1995 has reframed the debates on implementation of the radiographer reporting role and has been instrumental in shaping clinical practice and behaviours. There has been clear influence upon both meso (professional body organisations) and macro-level (governmental/health service) policies and guidance, that have shaped change at micro-level NHS Trust organisational levels. There is clear evidence of a shift in culturally intrenched legacy perspectives within and between different meso-level professional bodies around skills mix acceptance and role boundaries. This has helped shape capacity building of the reporting workforce and radiographer technical skills development. All of which have contributed to conceptual understandings of the skills mix workforce within modern radiology services and helped improve downstream patient diagnosis, treatment and management outcomes. Implications for practice: The findings of this study can help to inform and support implementation strategies and facilitation of the diagnostic radiographer X-ray reporting service in NHS clinical practice.

“…A paucity of research evaluating UK pre-registration radiography image interpretation education has largely remained with more contemporary curricula research focused on the evaluation of postgraduate education in the context of advanced clinical practice. 8,11,12 Preregistration education is critical in the development of 'first post' image interpretation capabilities and may provide a potential educational foundation for potential future postgraduate image interpretation education and progression to advanced clinical practice roles.…”

Abstract Background: Today there are fewer opportunities for health care students and staff for skills training through direct patient contact. The World Health Organization therefore recommends learning about patient safety through hands-on experience and simulation. Simulation has the potential to improve skills through training in a controlled environment, and simulation has positive effect on knowledge and skills, and even patient related outcomes. Reviews addressing the use of simulation across the different radiography specialties are lacking. Further knowledge on simulation in radiography education is needed to inform curriculum design and future research. The purpose of this scoping review is to explore, map and summarize the extent, range and nature of published research on simulation in radiography education.Methods: We will follow the methodological framework for scoping reviewsoriginally described by Arksey and O’Malley.We will search MEDLINE, Embase, Epistemonikos, The Cochrane Library, ERIC, Scopus, and sources of grey literature.A comprehensive search strategy for Ovid MEDLINE was developed in collaboration with a research librarian. An example of a full electronic search from the Ovid MEDLINE(1641 articles records, 09.01.2020) is provided and will be used to adapt the search strategy to each database.Two independent review authors will screen all abstracts and titles, and full-text publications during a second stage. Next, they will extract data from each included study using a data extraction form informed by the aim of the study. Anarrative account of all studies included will be presented. We will present a simple numerical analysis related to the extent, nature and distribution of studies, and we will use content analysis to map the different simulation interventions and learning design elements reported. Any type of simulation intervention within all types of radiography specializations will be included. Our search strategy is not limited by language or date of publication.Discussion: An overview of publications on simulation in radiography educationacross all radiography specialties will help to inform future research and will be useful for stakeholders within radiography education using simulation, both in the academic and clinical setting.
