Comment: | The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) is a registered independent charity and not part of the NHS.
The College's objectives are the advancement of the science and practice of clinical radiology and clinical oncology, the furtherance of public education and the promotion of study and research. To pursue these objectives the College sets professional standards of practice and a curriculum to ensure the high educational standards necessary for safe and responsible practice. The RCR recommends departments for training, and sets the syllabus and conducts exams necessary to become a Fellow of the College (FRCR).
The RCR has a Patients' Liaison Group (PLG) for each of its two Faculties, Clinical Oncology and Clinical Radiology. These groups produce a number of patient information leaflets available via the College's website and its virtual hospital departments website - www.goingfora.com - which aims to inform and re-assure patients who are going to undergo a diagnostic imaging procedure or radiotherapy treatment. |
