Editorial : a European federation of radiographer societies (EFRS) position statement on sustainability for the radiography profession

Abstract

According to the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS) Code of Ethics, radiographers are committed to providing a high standard of practice and care at all times. This commitment extends beyond maintaining high standards during examinations and treatments but also demonstrates a direct link with good health-care policies and practices and the promotion of well-being whilst embracing sustainable practices to further support healthy living for all. This paper aims to raise awareness among radiographers in all fields of radiation medicine regarding the impact of health-care on the environmental crisis and provide guidance on strategic actions to enhance environmental sustainability within practice.
