abstract: Radiographers could help treat patients more quickly if they could also triage them, it has been suggested. Writing in Synergy, a publication of The Society of Radiographers, reporting radiographer at Peterborough District Hospital, Cambridgeshire, Steve Littlefair says: 'A large number of patients could be assessed, treated and discharged without having to wait for the results of radiographs they clearly do not require. We should go as far as establishing experienced radiographers or possibly physiotherapists in the triage area to assess minor musculoskeletal injuries'.
