NIRAD Services

Charitable Activities

NIRAD members have in the past made donations to department of radiography at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, University of Lagos as well as the upcoming department of radiography at the University of Benin Edo State in Nigeria. We hope to collaborate with other schools of radiography in Nigeria by sharing our experiences. We aim that our contributions would impact on all of the tiers of healthcare in Nigeria.

Educational Activities

NIRAD undertakes a monthly educational exercise for its members through its Academic Paper Review Group Meeting. Individual members of NIRAD are also involved in one type of post graduate educational activity or the other. This includes professional specialist training in areas of practice such as magnetic resonance imaging, computerised tomography scanning, ultrasonography and densitometry. Postgraduate M Level education and doctor of philosophy training in the practice of radiography are currently being undertaken and encouraged by NIRAD members.
Our 1st General Meeting and Scientific Conference covered a wide range of topics and were endorsed with the CPD-Now approval of the Society and College of Radiographers UK. We are currently working closely with the Institute of Radiography at the RRBN in Nigeria to update the current academic curricular of training for radiographers in the country. In the future NIRAD shall publish a quarterly journal with the outcomes of its monthly Academic Paper Review Group also known as the Journal Club.
