In recent years therapy radiographers, as one of the Allied Health Professions, have been subject to many initiatives, recommendations and professional and technical developments which have driven or encouraged them to increase their uptake of post-registration continuing education and professional development activities. These initiatives and drivers for change are diverse both in their source and in their degrees of influence and range from government legislation at a national level down to local initiatives. This paper identifies the main drivers affecting therapy radiographers with regard to these issues, evaluates their impact on the profession and discusses some of the barriers and limitations to the uptake of educational and CPD activities.
