Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Founded in 1920, the Society of Radiographers is a trades union that represents more than 90% of the diagnostic and therapeutic radiographers in the United Kingdom. The Society of Radiographers was founded at the instigation of radiologists Albert Forder, and Dr Robert Knox, of King's College Hospital. Forder and Knox along with Dr Walmsley and Mr Blackhall formed a sub-committee to draft the rules for the admission of members. Membership was open to applicants who had been actively and continually employed for not less than ten years in the electro-therapeutic department or the X-ray department of a hospital or institution approve by the Council. In 1921, examinations were introduced for entry to membership, and a syllabus developed. There were 67 members in 1921, which rose to 164 by 1923.
