Course details
- Your academic studies include theoretical subjects which underpin diagnostic radiography practice, including the study of anatomy, principles of radiation and imaging, research, audit and service improvement and how to support excellent service-user centred care for people with diverse needs. You will also develop a strong understanding of what it means to be a registered professional.
The units also align to the four pillars of practice of: Clinical practice, Management and Leadership, Education and Research and Development. This ensures you will be ready to start your career and have a framework for your further professional development.
You will undertake practice-based learning which allows you to consolidate your academic learning and develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to become a reflective autonomous practitioner. This practice-based learning will take place in diagnostic imaging and radiology departments at local sites across the region.
Some of your units will be studied alongside apprentices from other allied health professions, namely occupational therapy, podiatry and speech and language therapy. Together you will undertake units that cover some key concepts common to all AHP professions such as professionalism, leadership, communication skills and health behaviour. You will also learn the skills to undertake research and quality improvement initiatives to enhance and improve practise in your chosen profession. These units will have some shared sessions but also profession specific sessions where appropriate.
Over the course of the three years, you will study units that will develop radiography specific knowledge and skills to allow you to undertake radiographic procedures in a safe, effective and competent manner. You will become a reflective practitioner, able to critique and reflect upon your clinical practice decisions, monitor and review interventions allowing you to modify care and instigate change to improve the service as necessary.
