Course overview
We are pleased to announce our next on-demand seminar series of 2026.
Imaging services play a vital role in patient care, but they also contribute significantly to healthcare’s environmental footprint. This course is designed to empower radiology professionals to understand, engage with, and act on sustainability challenges in a practical and clinically relevant way.
Key highlights
Through this course, participants will explore the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability as they relate specifically to radiology. You will gain insight into the key sources of carbon emissions and waste within imaging departments, from energy-intensive equipment to consumables and workflow inefficiencies.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
-
Recognise the main environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability in radiology.
-
Identify key sources of carbon emissions and waste within imaging departments
-
Describe practical strategies to reduce environmental impact without compromising diagnostic quality or patient care.
-
Discuss how sustainability can be integrated into clinical governance, procurement, and quality improvement processes.
-
Reflect on actions they can implement locally to promote a more sustainable imaging service.
The course moves beyond awareness to action, focusing on realistic, evidence-based strategies that reduce environmental impact without compromising diagnostic quality, patient safety, or clinical outcomes. Participants will examine how sustainability principles can be embedded into everyday practice, including clinical governance, procurement decisions, and quality improvement initiatives.
By the end of the course, you will be equipped to reflect on your own practice and identify tangible actions that can be implemented locally, helping to build a more sustainable, resilient, and future-focused imaging service within your organisation.
1 CPD Point/CME credit can be claimed in accordance with the CPD Scheme of The Royal College of Radiologists.
