The QCHP pathway for radiographers
Radiographers and imaging technologists sit an allied-health Prometric exam spanning radiographic technique, cross-sectional anatomy, radiation physics and safety. Modality specialisations (CT, MRI, mammography, cath lab) strengthen both classification and job offers.
Radiation safety and dose optimisation are disproportionately weighted on every GCC paper — regulators treat them as licence-critical knowledge.
