🌸 International Women’s Day 2026 🌸Today we celebrate the women who lead, innovate, and care across medical imaging and radiation therapy - and the women whose health and wellbeing sit at the heart of our work.At the NZSMIRT, we are proud to represent professions where wāhine make up a significant part of the workforce and where women’s health needs are central to everyday practice - from breast imaging and gynaecological care, to cancer treatment, pregnancy related imaging, and lifelong health screening.This year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls,” reminds us that equity matters not only in our workplaces, but also in how healthcare is designed, delivered, and experienced by female patients. Women deserve care that recognises their unique biology, life stages, and experiences - delivered with dignity, respect, and clinical excellence.Today we acknowledge: • the women who deliver expert, compassionate care• the importance of gender-responsive, patient centred health services• the need to continue advocating for equity - for our workforce and for the patients we serve.To all the women in medical imaging and radiation therapy, and to the women whose lives and health we support every day - thank you. When women are seen, heard, and supported, our health system is stronger for everyone.💜 Happy International Women’s Day 💜 ... See MoreSee Less

Your perspective is needed in an important 15 minute survey exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in lung cancer screening.AI is likely to play a role in a future national lung cancer screening programme. For it to be implemented successfully, it must be acceptable to both those delivering screening and those receiving it. Your input will help shape how this is done.📝 Survey link:redcap.otago.ac.nz/surveys/?s=TDCLMDACMEC7H9KH✔ University of Otago Human Ethics Committee approved (Ref H25/0473)✔ Funded by the Health Research Council of New Zealand with research team members based at the University of Otago/Ōtakou Whakaihu Waka and Health NZ/Te Whatu Ora.Please take a few minutes to contribute - and feel free to share with colleagues who may also wish to participate.#healthprofessionals #lungcancerscreening #artificialintelligence #aotearoanz #HealthResearch ...
