Radiographers view continuing professional development (CPD) as vital but face time barriers. Providing dedicated work time for CPD is the most effective strategy to enhance participation and improve service provision.

Area of Science:

  • Radiography
  • Medical Imaging
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential for maintaining professional registration and enhancing service provision in radiography.
  • Radiographers acknowledge the importance of CPD but face challenges in its consistent undertaking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify barriers hindering radiographers' engagement in CPD.
  • To explore strategies for overcoming these barriers.
  • To understand radiographers' perceptions and opinions regarding CPD.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey was distributed to band 5 and band 6 radiographers.
  • Descriptive and thematic analyses were employed to examine survey data.
  • Response rate was 75.8% (n=25).

Main Results:

  • Time constraints were identified as the primary barrier to CPD.
  • A majority of radiographers (52%) dedicate less than three hours per month to CPD.
  • Despite positive attitudes, radiographers are reluctant to use personal time for CPD, preferring dedicated work time.

Conclusions:

  • Radiographers value CPD but limited opportunities during work hours and reluctance to use personal time impede participation.
  • Providing dedicated study time during work hours is crucial for improving CPD engagement.
  • Educational initiatives should emphasize CPD's necessity for registration and its benefits.
