Patient Identification

Students at RMI are required to follow our department policy on patient identification, known as CCC checking.

Prior to commencing an examination, the following must be checked with the patient:

-          Correct patient

-          Correct procedure

-          Correct side

When confirming the exam documentation in the RIS, the confirmed patient identifiers must be checked. The radiographic staff will show you how to complete this on the RIS.

Hours of work

Riverland Medical Imaging is open from 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). There is a late shift radiographer on-site Monday to Thursday until 7:00pm. Examinations are performed out of hours by the on-call radiographer for emergencies.

Students are required to attend from 9:00am to 5:00pm with a 30 minute lunchbreak.
