Abstract

Effective communication between radiographers and patients is very important for the successful execution of radiographic procedures. Examples of communication models and barriers to patient-centred communication are presented. Training in communication skills and techniques, qualitative research in communication and patient care, and using gender as an important variable in research studies in radiography may be useful in improving communication strategies in radiology departments.
