Clark's Essential Guide to Operational Management and Business Practice in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy
This easy-to-understand pocketbook in the highly respected Clark’s stable of diagnostic imaging texts introduces students and practitioners to the concepts of management, leadership and business planning, and outlines the knowledge and skills required to maintain the daily functioning of a medical imaging department. Recognizing that the transition from clinical radiographer to team lead or manager can be challenging, the book provides a good underpinning knowledge of management functions that will assist in this development and enable further progression into operational management roles.
Clark’s Essential Guide to Operational Management and Business Practice in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy takes the systematic approach adopted within books in the Clark's family and designed to be clear and consistent, introducing the reader to differing concepts of management. All involved in managing imaging delivery and practice, no matter what the area of service, will benefit greatly from this publication.
