Staff at Walsall Healthcare have been raising awareness of the Radiographer role, and the difference they make to patients, as part of World Radiography Day 2025.

The campaign is celebrated annually on 8 November, as this date marks the anniversary of the discovery of x-radiation by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895.

As part of their awareness stand at Walsall Manor Hospital earlier today, staff and patients were able to learn more about medical imaging, while the radiographers were able to explore new technologies thanks to demonstrations from some of the leading providers of medical imaging equipment.

Passersby were asked to guess the weight of the lead gowns worn when undertaking x-rays, while a selection of x-rays demonstrated how certain materials and foreign objects are picked up during scans.

Bhavisha Nena, Training and Development Lead, said: What a great day! A huge thanks to everyone who joined in to celebrate the amazing work radiographers do every day. I’m so proud to celebrate the people who help us see beyond the surface.”

Thank you to all our radiographers, and support workers, here at Walsall for your continued hard work.

In celebration of Occupational Therapy Week (3-9 November 2025), we asked our Occupational Therapists (OT) what they love about their work: 💬

Community Neurological Rehabilitation Team-
🟢“I get to be a part of someone's recovery and help them to regain their independence, and often their dignity, in the face of serious impairment, injury, or disease."
🟢“Being a neurological OT is the best job. I get to work closely with patients to help them regain their skills – now that’s magic.”
🟢“For me the OT role is so rewarding. I can offer advice, assess, prescribe equipment and liaise with other agencies to ensure the patient's basic daily care needs are met.”

Front Door Services-
🟢"I am passionate about my role because I can support people to stay safe in their own homes.”
🟢“I take pride in completing comprehensive assessments with a strong ‘home first’ focus – helping to reduce unnecessary admissions to hospital."

Intermediate Care Services-
🟢“We are problem solvers and can break down everyday activities to support our patients to live fulfilled lives, whether that be with the provision of equipment or doing things in a slightly different way.”
