Subject

Diagnostic imaging

Diagnostic Radiography is the practice of using various forms of radiation to produce high-quality images which aid in the diagnosis and treatment of injury or disease. This course aim to ensure that upon completion graduates are eligible to apply for registration as a Diagnostic Radiographer with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), gain employment in a professional role, and to register as a full member of the Society of Radiographers.

The course is designed to develop skills specific to diagnostic radiography as well as wider transferable healthcare and employability skills. The course will allow students to apply theoretical knowledge to clinical practice, while undertaking a variety of modules alongside practice placement experience. During the programme, students will learn from their peer group, students from other health professions at University, interprofessional learning events, academic lecturers, clinical expert health professionals, and service users.

Assessment methods

Students will be assessed using formative and summative assignment tasks. Computer-based assessments are used across a range of modules, allowing the assessment of a breadth of knowledge. Written assignments and case studies are used to assess the depth of learning and application of new knowledge to practice.

An electronic poster assessment in the second year provides you with the opportunity for the development of skills in a different mode of professional communication. In addition, a project presentation undertaken in the final year aims to further enhances the range of different modes of professional communication, developing your wider employability skills.

The medical imaging practice modules will assess your practical and professional competence in the clinical department, evidenced in an electronic portfolio, as well as a viva assessment at the end of the year that will assess your knowledge across the spectrum of diagnostic radiography practice.
