Standards for Radiological Referral by Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives. Third Edition. August 2026

Standards for Radiological Referral by Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives. Third Edition. August 2026.

The revised standards replace the Standards and Requirements for Nurse Authority to Refer for Radiological Procedures (2020) and reflect developments in legislation, professional regulation, education, and contemporary nursing and midwifery practice.

The standards establish, for the first time, a combined framework of Practice Standards and Education Programme Standards to support registered nurses and registered midwives to expand their scope of practice to include radiological referral. The standards are aligned with the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives (2025) and set out the knowledge, skills, competence, and professional expectations required for safe, effective, and accountable referral practice.
