Enhanced Practitioners

^{Enhanced Practitioner Case Studies} 

Enhanced Practitioners contribute to all four pillars of practice, but particular emphasis is placed on their senior expertise at a specific pillar, commonly but not exclusively in radiography, the clinical pillar of practice. Enhanced Practitioners in clinical imaging and radiotherapy therefore develop proficiency and skills that employ a higher level of knowledge, skills and attributes than those obtained for initial registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) or its equivalent. They have developed beyond the practitioner level based on their clinical competence and/or expanded knowledge base in a specialist area. This may include, for example:

• Clinical reporting
• Radiation protection
• Specific modalities
• The delineation of organs and volumetric outlining
• Specific modalities, such as cross sectional imaging modalities, nuclear medicine or mammography
• Practitioner-led mark-up and ‘on treatment’ review
• Non-medical prescribing and/or
• Contribution to multidisciplinary decision-making about a patient’s cancer management plan
