Appointment of a new trustee
At the September ISRRT board meeting in Australia Julie Armstrong was appointed as our
newest trustee. UK born Julie has lived in The Netherlands since 2005 where she works for
MeduProf-S and Fontys International supporting projects in Zambia, Uganda & Cairo. Prior
to that she worked in Zambia for 2 years and before that she worked in South Africa for 21
years. She will undoubted be an asset to the WRETF and will bring us new strengths and
ideas.
5 year strategic plan adopted March 2010
At the WRETF meeting on 13th March the 5 year strategic plan was adopted. It has been
sometime in formulation but it is a positive step forward for the WRETF and will give
strength to us to move into the future.
Mission:
The WRETF is dedicated to improving education in the science and the practice of
Radiography, Radiotherapy and Allied subjects throughout the world.
Vision:
1. To empower Radiography staff in developing Countries by supporting them with
donations of used or new textbooks, journals and educational materials.
2. To support the linking of individual to departments to send out scientific journals on a
regular basis.
3. To offer support to individuals in developing countries working in Radiography – or
Radiotherapy Departments who’s need is greater than their financial possibilities.
6 strategic goals
1. Sending as many as possible WHO books and Radiology books to those in need, in line
with the Trust’s selection criteria.
2. Sending as many second hand journals as possible to those in need in line with the
Trust’s selection criteria.
3. Supporting the execution of radiology workshops in Developing Countries.
4. Identifying other options to support Radiographer’s and Radiography Technicians in
developing countries.
5. Substantially improving the financial sustainability of the Trust via increased number
and value of donations through specific campaigns targeted at fund raising associated
with major opportunities.
6. Enhance awareness of the need for the WRETF among health workers in Developed
Countries (UK and the rest of Europe).
