National Radiographer and Radiation Therapists’ Week (NRRTW) celebrates medical radiation professionals from Monday 2 November to Sunday 8 November. The week culminates in World Radiography Day, Saturday 8 November, which marks the anniversary of the discovery of the X-ray by German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895.
After the success of our 2025 campaign, we are continuing with the theme for 2026, Medical Radiation Practitioners - meet the person behind your care.
Over the past two years, participation in the campaign has grown by more than 40 percent. We know that awareness of our professions, what they do, and their vital place in health care continues to be recognised, but we can always do more.
During the course of NRRTW, we will reach out to patients, the public and other health professionals through a comprehensive social media campaign that will include video, interesting stats and great stories. I ask that you not only display the collateral available from the free NRRTW packs, but also get behind the campaign, like and repost our socials, take your own snaps and share the images.
