A radiographer from Kerala, Smitha Johny, has been suspended for six months in the UK. A tribunal found she could not perform basic X-ray procedures and posed a risk to patient health. Despite claiming 23 years of experience and English as her first language, Johny struggled with communication and failed to follow guidelines. She misidentified anatomy during a test, leading to a radiation breach. Johny resigned in April 2023 after being informed of her performance issues. Her suspension reflects serious concerns about her qualifications and ability to practice safely.
