In our Report No. 2 we recommended that further consideration should be given to a proposal that a new X-Ray Technician grade should be created. An examination has now been completed.
No
At present X-Ray Assistants assist Radiographers in general chest radiography in clinics and other units. specialist qualifications are required for entry to this grade; preference is given to candidates who have previous experience of X-Ray or similar equipment.
The examination of this proposal has however indicated that the need for a separate grade is unnecessary since the proposed duties (including routine chest radiography and supervision of X-Ray Assistants) can be performed by experienced officers who have completed some basic training in Radiography. As many X-Ray Assistants have undergone such training, the creation of a senior rank of X-Ray Assistant is proposed instead.
We recommend that entry to the new rank of Senior X-Ray Assistant should normally be open to X-Ray Assistants who have passed the Diploma Course of the Hong Kong Radiological Technician Association (or equivalent) and with five years' relevant experience in radio-diagnostic work.
Our proposed scales for this grade are as follows :
