Healthcare organisations should implement standardised training pathways to prepare radiographers for reporting roles. Collaborative models, where radiographers support rather than replace radiologists, can improve efficiency while maintaining quality. Policymakers must provide clear guidelines and funding to expand these roles, particularly in radiologist-shortage areas. Technological tools, such as AI-assisted reporting, can help radiographers manage complex cases. Equitable training opportunities, including remote learning and mobile apps, should address geographical disparities. Robust quality assurance protocols are essential to sustain confidence in radiographer-led reporting and enhance patient care outcomes.
