Education and Career Framework: Showcasing opportunities and career development
Return to ECF hub pageService Manager | Service Leader Case Studies
The role of a senior service manager/service leader in a radiology or radiotherapy service is to ensure the safe and effective provision of a highly specialised technical service. This will cover all aspects of management, clinical and professional practice, leadership, staff/ workforce development and patient and service user experience. Service managers/service leaders will maintain registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), or an equivalent regulator where appropriate, to provide professional leadership.
They will be involved in long-term strategic planning of service delivery, service transformation and developments by taking account of governance and legal requirements, technical innovation and advances in equipment and techniques. Their comprehensive knowledge and understanding of up-to-date legislation, national guidelines, professional standards, evidence-based policies and protocols and quality requirements will assist them in service improvement and development. They will manage change to ensure the imaging and/ or radiotherapy services provided are up to date and evidence based, delivering excellence in care for patients and the public.
