Abstract
The ability to request clinical imaging is included in many advanced roles of health-care professionals in the UK and is seen as a useful component in ensuring patients receive the right care, by the right person, at the right time. In order that diagnostic imaging referrals are appropriate, timely and safely made, the British Institute of Radiology has produced a position statement on the governance requirements covering clinical imaging requests from non-medical referrers (NMRs). This document is intended to help define the role of a NMR and to ensure they are practising responsibly and safely, within professional and legal frameworks, as part of the wider interprofessional team.
