The SoR has named the highly commended runners up in the Educator of the Year category at the 2024 Radiography Awards.
This year's Radiography Awards will take place on November 7 in London. Ahead of the awards ceremony, the SoR is recognising the highly-commended runners up in each category.
There are four categories: Professional of the Year, Learner of the Year, Radiography Team of the Year and Educator of the Year. Educator of the Year is the only category that allows for a single winner.
