In increasingly complex and technology-driven radiology departments, safe, effective, and patient-centred care depends not only on technical performance, but also on strong quality management, sound clinical governance, and continuous improvement. This lecture will explore how quality and safety can advance standards in radiology departments and strengthen radiography practice, highlighting the WHO dimensions of high-quality care and the radiographer\u2019s contribution to safer imaging pathways, better decision-making, and quality-oriented practice. It will also reflect on the role of education and academic-clinical collaboration in preparing future radiographers for excellence in medical imaging services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"biography\"\n    >\nBiography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rui Pedro Pereira de Almeida is Assistant Professor in Clinical Imaging and Study Director of the Bachelor in Health Sciences \u2013 ATM Radiology at the University of Luxembourg.
