1

History Taking & Consent

Take relevant clinical history — presenting complaints, past medical/surgical history, known allergies and current medications — prior to any procedure or health check.

Counsel patients clinically in consultation with treating doctors, and complete consent documentation.

2

Triage & Assessment

Triage patients at the centre by checking vital parameters (BP, pulse, SpO, etc.), assessing clinical condition, and flagging patients with poor general condition to the reporting Nuclear Medicine Physicians or Reporting Radiologist as required for decision on the next step — reject, pre-medicate, refer back to the treating/referring doctor, or accept for the procedure. The RMO is responsible for implementing whichever course is decided, and for documenting the decision and its execution in the patient record.

Identify early signs of an emergency and handle appropriately while ensuring communication amongst all the stakeholders. This may include handling contrast reactions, Code Blue situations, or any complications or medical emergencies at the centre.

Administer mild/moderate sedation, including to the paediatric age group, to manage anxiety and enable a smooth procedure.

6

Coordination

Coordinate and communicate effectively with the NMT, NMP, Radiologists, Anaesthesiologist and Management for smooth patient management.

• Confident, patient-focused and unbiased in handling patients;
• a self-driven, pro-active team player comfortable with problem-solving and open to feedback
• Willingness to work in shifts

4. ETIQUETTE & CULTURAL PRACTICES

1. Be dressed professionally at all times and strictly follow the prescribed dress code, including the issued ID card and name tag.

2. Maintain personal grooming standards; appear sharp and presentable through office hours.

3. “Greet, Seat & Treat” — greet every patient; if a wait is likely, offer a seat and any complimentary courtesy to keep the experience positive.

4. Keep the workstation and surrounding areas neat, organised and clean at all times.

5. Remain tactful and courteous; never argue with a patient or attendant.

6. Never use a personal phone while on duty, especially when handling patients; keep it on silent/vibrate.
