Another half year passed and the demand for Radio- graphers both diagnostic & therapeutic continuous to stand. Our latest news is those graduated from Tung Wah College can register as Radiotherapist and therefore can help to alleviate the Manpower Shortage. Although there is Labor Law in Hong Kong that protect us after injury on duty, there is much controversy and grey area where compensation should applied or not. HKRA would start to look into this subject and try to draft some guidelines for the Profession. We have two new plans to help Radiographers in their careers; they are Research Fund and Apps Development. You can found more information from other columns in this newsletter. HKRA just join the Organ Donation Champion and will promote organ donation in Hong Kong. Please consider organ donation and take actions to register.
