City St George's Research Radiographer Group (CRRAG) • City St George's, University of London

Our group conducts high-quality, world-renowned research dedicated to the advancement of medical imaging and therapeutic radiography in clinical practice.

We emphasise the crucial connection between imaging and therapy practices, and person-centred care, recognising how vital our services are within the wider healthcare system for better outcomes.

Our mission is to inform, educate, and promote supportive and inclusive care experiences within radiography for individuals, families, communities, and practitioners.

We work with researchers across the globe, and actively collaborate with individuals who have lived or living experiences of radiography and radiotherapy to ensure our studies are focused on shaping clinical and care practices, informing healthcare policies, and contributing to the ongoing development of radiographic education.

Our priorities for research include:

Person and patient centred care for different patient groups (paediatric, neurodivergent, with disabilities)
Artificial intelligence and novel technology governance, education and implementation in medical imaging and radiotherapy
Clinical education including the design and evaluation of new educational tools (simulation, AI-based, etc)
Patient safety in medical imaging and radiotherapy
Workforce development and radiographer leadership (studies on staffing, impact of Covid19, gender studies)

We are situated within the Department of Allied Health at City St George’s, University of London, which means our findings can be quickly implemented into education and practice through our research-informed academic programmes for trainee healthcare professionals across undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Our group brings together expertise from academic and research staff, external collaborators, and doctoral students from varying radiography and radiotherapy backgrounds.

Since 2019, we have received in excess of £300,000 of external funding to support our research, and our growing portfolio of research outputs features across many high-impact factor scientific journals.

Our achievements have also been recognised through a number of individual and team awards, including City’s Extraordinary Woman of the Year (2023), the British Medical Ultrasound Champion of the Year (2023), JMIRS Research Paper of the Year (2022, 2023), College of Radiographers Student Radiographer of the Year (2022), Forder Memorial Award (2022), ESR Best Research Project (2024), Digital Leader (2024) to name a few.
