Is Not Here
A tribute to every healthcare professional affected by radiation who…
- For all those who cannot be here because of their back pain
- For all those who cannot be here because of their fear of radiation
- For all those who have not embarked upon a career in radiography because of their concern for their future health
- For all those who are not as protected as others because of their gender
- For all those who cannot be here because they have paid the ultimate price
