A fitness-to-practise inquiry has recommended sanctions against a radiographer in a Dublin hospital after hearing evidence that he struggled to take basic X-rays and was rated with the competence of a “second-year undergraduate”.

Tafadzwanashe “Edison” Denhere, a radiographer at St Luke’s Hospital in Rathgar, Dublin will face undisclosed sanctions after the fitness-to-practise (FTP) committee of CORU, the regulatory body of health and social care professionals, found four allegations of poor professional performance against him were proven beyond reasonable doubt.
