The Power of the Patient Voice. Sometimes a simple conversation can create a powerful patient / practitioner partnership.

To explain just how, in this episode Steve talks with Charlotte Beardmore CBE - the Executive Director of Professional Policy at the UK's Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) - to discuss how SCoR is amplifying the patient voice to shape policy, guide professional standards, and influence the future of radiography from a simple "hello". Join Steve and Charlotte as they explore what it means to embed patient perspectives into decision-making, why it matters for clinical practice, and how we can all make a long-lasting impact from a short conversation.
