A Clydebank hospital radiographer has been named Radiography Professional of the Year for Scotland.

Chloe Peace, an advanced practitioner in radiography at NHS Golden Jubilee, was recognised by the Society of Radiographers for her exceptional contributions to the profession.

The award reflects the 28-year-old's dedication to patient care and professional development.

She said: "It was a lovely surprise to have even been nominated, even more so to receive the Scottish award.

"I am delighted to have received recognition in a professional capacity and to have done so from my peers makes it all the more special.

"I look forward to representing NHS Golden Jubilee at the awards ceremony in London, meeting inspiring radiographers from around the UK, learning of their achievements and endeavours and hopefully gaining ideas to share locally."

She achieved advanced practitioner status early in her career and is now working towards her master’s degree.

Originally from Orkney and now living in Greenock, Ms Peace is set to expand her role soon to include MRI reporting, adding further expertise to the NHS Golden Jubilee radiography team.

The Society of Radiographers is a professional body representing radiographers across the UK, dedicated to promoting excellence in radiography practice.

Richard Evans OBE, chief executive officer of the Society of Radiographers, said: "It is a privilege to commend Chloe Peace for her exceptional contributions to radiography.

"In just two years, Chloe has demonstrated remarkable leadership and dedication, taking on a Band 7 role with confidence and maturity.

"Her commitment to improving patient care, service delivery and the student experience has made a significant impact on her team and the wider department."

Gordon James, chief executive of NHS Golden Jubilee, said: "We are incredibly proud of Chloe for this well-deserved recognition.

"Her dedication and achievements are a source of pride for all of us at NHS Golden Jubilee.

"We wish her the best of luck as she advances in her career and moves forward with her nomination for the UK Radiographer of the Year award."
