Direct Supervision:Students will observe, assist and then perform radiographic procedures under the direct supervision of a technologist until they have achieved competency. The JRCERT defines direct supervision as student supervision by a qualified radiographer who:

Indirect Supervision:Students may perform imaging procedures under the indirect supervision of a qualified radiographer after they have achieved competency. The JRCERT defines indirect supervision as that supervision provided by a qualified radiographer immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. “Immediately available” is interpreted as the physical presence of a qualified radiographer adjacent to the room or location where a radiographic procedure is being performed. This availability applies to all areas where ionizing radiation equipment is in use on patients. |
Repeat Radiographs:If at any time a radiograph taken by a student is deemed unsatisfactory, the radiograph is to be repeated only in the presence and with the approval of a qualified radiographer, regardless of the student's level of competency. |
