🤔HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT WE DO? 💙On World Radiography and Radiation Therapy Day, we love to celebrate and promote our professions. Some of the crew that attended an awesome study day put on by the Cook Strait Regional Committee were willing to share one (or two 😜) words that capture what we do as MITs and RTs. Mīharo! So cool!😀 We'd really love to hear what you think in the comments below! 🙌(We'd also love to share with our community how you celebrated in your workplaces - if you'd like us to share these for you, please send your pictures or let us know what you got up to by emailing communications@n#WorldRadiographyDayd#medicalimaging##RadiationTherapyadiationTherapy ...

🙌 Celebrating World Radiography Day – 8 November 2025 - From the NZSMIRT President 👩‍⚖️Kia ora koutou, As we mark World Radiography and Radiation Therapy Day 2025, I invite you to join me in celebrating the incredible mahi of our medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals across Aotearoa. This global day, observed annually on 8 November, commemorates the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895 - a breakthrough that transformed healthcare forever. Whether it’s diagnosing illness, guiding treatment, or ensuring patient safety, RTs and MITs are the quiet heroes behind the images and treatments. World Radiography Day serves to honour RTs and MITS, promote awareness, inspire innovation, and unite professionals, ultimately advancing the field's role in shaping the future of healthcare. Over the years the NZSMIRT has seen wonderful ideas emerge to honour this day. From celebratory morning teas at branches nationwide, to proposals for open days that welcome students and the public into our imaging departments, the enthusiasm to showcase our profession is inspiring. These events not only recognise our teams but also help grow awareness of radiography as a rewarding career path. Let’s also take a moment to reflect on the values that unite us - professionalism, patient-centred care, and a commitment to continuous learning. As highlighted in recent CPD resources and JMRS virtual issues, our profession continues to lead in advancing patient safety and cultural responsiveness. To all our members: thank you for your dedication, your expertise, and your unwavering support of patients and whānau. Whether you’re behind the console, mentoring students, or shaping policy, your contribution matters deeply and make a huge difference to the lives and health outcomes of New Zealanders. Ngā mihi nui, Bernie Bowen President, NZSMIRT 💙#WorldRadiographyDay #MedicalImaging #RadiationTherapy ... See MoreSee Less
