We are delighted to announce our next RTUK Talks: Shaping our Professional River and Creating Opportunities for Growth, with Alice Williams.
Register: Meeting Registration – Zoom
Summary: This session will explore a shift in Alice Williams’ research focus, moving radiographers’ career planning from the traditional career “ladder” towards a more flexible, growth-based approach inspired by the Kawa River Model. The session aims to highlight the value of reflective, individualised career planning. This model aligns with the NHS Fit for the Future 10-Year Health Plan (2025), which emphasises empowering staff through personalised development and enabling practice at the top of capability. It has the potential to support staff retention, enhance professional satisfaction, and ultimately improve patient care within radiotherapy services. Using the river as a metaphor, the model encourages adaptability, resilience, and progression, embracing Bruce Lee’s philosophy of “being like water” when navigating career challenges and opportunities.
