"The advanced practice radiographers are former postgraduate students of Glasgow Caledonian University, and being named Scottish team of the year is further evidence of the success of the postgraduate programme.

"The team has had to work extremely hard to get to where we are today, but they have managed to establish a cost effective and quality service which benefits both patients and staff.

And regular audits show a consistent accuracy of more than 98 per cent," she added.
