Statutory Registration

Statutory registration is once again under discussion.

This legislation will play an extremely important role in the regulation of the profession of radiography in Ireland. A number of key points are: -

1. To practice radiography in the Republic of Ireland a radiographer will have to be state registered.

2. To remain on the register a radiographer must show proof of continuing professional development.

3. All non-nationally qualified radiographers will have to have their qualifications validated; this is a current requirement.

4. All radiographers currently practicing or employed will have to apply for registration. There is no automatic entry to the register.

It would be very useful if members could familiarise themselves with the consultative document before the regional meetings. This should facilitate a more informed debate.

The original document is available from the Department of Health website under publications.
