Radiographer banned from conducting X-rays on anyone under 18 for 12 months
A radiographer who was found guilty of professional misconduct over his inappropriate behaviour in carrying out a chest X-ray on a young female patient whom he later tried to contact via social media has been banned from conducting any radiography services on anyone under 18 for 12 months. The prohibition on carrying out X-rays on children and adolescents apart from exceptional circumstances and then only under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner is one of five conditions imposed on the registration of radiographer, Adrian Peconcillo, by CORU – the regulatory body of health and social care professionals. It follows a fitness-to-practise inquiry by CORU earlier this year at which Peconcillo admitted he had acted in a manner that was not clinically justified or appropriate when he was carrying out a chest X-ray on a 16-year-old girl at Tallaght University Hospital on January 25, 2023. The inquiry heard that the patient had come out of the changing area undressed from the waist up and covering her chest due to the failure of Peconcillo to provide her with a hospital gown prior to her undressing. The radiographer – an Irish citizen who comes originally from the Philippines – was also accused of looking at her in a forward-facing manner whilst her back was against the X-ray board and later inviting her to look at her X-ray while she remained undressed. Evidence was heard that Peconcillo had also sent the teenager one or more follow requests to her Instagram account on the same date that were inappropriate and without any clinical justification. It emerged that the radiographer had tried to contact her with his own Instagram account which was in the name of 'Adrian Wanderman'. He had originally claimed in correspondence with CORU that he had sent the Instagram request to an Australian DJ with the same name as the girl. The girl's father said his daughter had been doing her mock exams at the time and her head was 'all over the place' and she was blaming herself for the incident. The inquiry was held after a formal complaint was made to CORU about Peconcillo's behaviour by the radiography services manager at TUH, Laura Gannon. It heard that Peconcillo was suspended by TUH after the teenager's parents had made a complaint to the hospital and he was subsequently dismissed in April 2023 following an internal investigation. The CORU inquiry heard he has not worked as a radiographer since but had found employment as a phlebotomist at St Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin where he primarily works with geriatric patients but on a salary 50% less than he earned in TUH. The fitness-to-practise committee also found the radiographer's actions constituted breaches of the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics adopted by the Radiographers Registration Board. They related to his failure to maintain high standards of personal conduct and behaviour and to use social media responsibly. The committee noted that Peconcillo had shown remorse and recognised his poor judgement in dealing with the young patient. The committee's chairperson, Geraldine Feeney, said they had considered a period of suspension to be the appropriate sanction but had decided against it in circumstances where Mr Peconcillo had not worked as a radiographer for almost two years. The committee rejected an application by his legal representatives for the inquiry to be concluded by his consenting to admonishment and censure and giving an undertaking about his future conduct. Ms Feeney said the seriousness of the proven allegations required some form of sanction. She said the committee also recognised that the incidents had been devastating for the radiographer both professionally and personally after he lost his job and was refused access to his only child by his former partner. The committee observed that there were 'system shortcomings' within TUH that had facilitated Peconcillo's actions albeit they did not excuse such conduct. Other conditions imposed on the radiographer require him to complete courses relating to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults as well as ones on social media and professional practice and relating to professional ethics, trust, care and dignity in the workplace. All courses have to be completed within 12 months and at his own expense. CORU also required Peconcillo to notify any current or prospective employer about the findings against him and the conditions attached to his registration to practise as a radiographer. The decision to attach conditions to the radiographer's registration was confirmed by the High Court earlier this week.

Capital DJ reveals she's been hospitalised after serious illness forcing her apart from newborn daughter
CAPITAL DJ Aimee Vivian has revealed she's been hospitalised with sepsis - just weeks after giving birth to her first child. The radio host, 34, shared the health update with her fans on social media on Wednesday. 3 Aimee Vivian has revealed she's been hospitalised after developing sepsis Credit: Instagram / @aimeevivian 3 The Capital DJ shared a health update with fans on Wednesday Credit: Instagram/@aimeevivian Aimee revealed she was hospitalised on Sunday after developing sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused by the body's overwhelming response to an infection. The new mum explained that she had been experiencing mastitis - where your breast becomes swollen, hot and painful. It is most common in breastfeeding women. Aimee shared: "Thank you all for you kind messages. Little update, I am still in hospital after being admitted on Sunday and developing sepsis. "There's still a lot of unanswered questions and things to get a hold on, so when I can I'll be more open and I'll be looking into working with mastitis charities to spread awareness on it." The presenter continued: "We know how underfunded women's health is, but seriously things have got to change. "If men produced milk, pushing through the pain of a blocked duct, mastitis etc wouldn't be a thing. "If anyone works for/knows charities or companies, let me know as I'd love to touch base once this is all over." Aimee said she was struggling to be apart from her daughter, Charli Carter. Most read in Showbiz She added: "Not being with your baby in the first month of their life is the most unnatural and abnormal thing. "Literally count down the minutes in the morning till she gets here and dread her leaving at night. "But focusing all my energy on getting better for her. "Lastly to my superhuman husband, thank you. Without you, I would have broken." What is mastitis? Mastitis is a condition which causes a woman's breast tissue to become inflamed and painful. It's most common in breastfeeding mums, in the first three months after giving birth. In breastfeeding women, it's often caused by a build-up of milk - because the baby is having problems latching on. Symptoms include: A red, swollen area which feels hot and painful to touch A breast lump or area of hardness A burning pain which is either continuous or only occurs during breastfeeding Nipple discharge - which may be white or contain streaks of blood Flu-like symptoms - including aches, a fever, chills and tiredness. If you have these symptoms, speak to your GP straight away. Sepsis is a serious complication of an infection, which can lead to multiple organ failure and even death if left untreated. In June, Aimee announced that she'd given birth after missing the Summertime Ball. The daytime radio presenter shared the exciting news on Instagram after being noticeably absent from the huge concert. Sharing a photo from last year's bash alongside Sonny Jay and Jimmy Hill, Aimee apologised for the absence but noted she had a great excuse why she couldn't make it. "Wishing my @capitalofficial & all of you an amazing Summertime ball day 🧡," she wrote. "Sad to miss it but as you might of guessed by my silence on here, our new little addition has arrived so we have very much been in our newborn love bubble." "Swapping backstage at Wembley for watching on YouTube with milk in one hand and a nappy in the other this year 👶🏼," she joked, before promising an "update on the baby soon". Aimee announced that she was expecting her first baby back in February, sharing a black and white video of her holding a cake that said "coming soon". In front of the cake was a pair of baby booties and a pregnancy scan. This is Aimee's first baby with her husband, who remains out of the spotlight. She has been part of the team on Capital FM for the past 10 years, currently hosting alongside Sonny Jay.
