Radiography exists in a changing professional environment and requires practitioners to continually update and review clinical practice. This course provides a flexible framework to prepare you for advanced practice by studying topics relevant to your needs and those of your clinical departments.
This route, which is one of four radiography pathways, is aimed at therapeutic radiographers. The course is offered as either a part-time block release course or as a full-time course.
You may be granted credits for your previous academic and professional qualification through Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) scheme.

You will study modules relating to clinical roles, management, practice education, supervisory and assessment roles, quality issues, research methods and ethics, as well as taking a module of independent study to meet a particular professional need or interest.
Case studies; research protocols; dissertation; essays; portfolios; practical assessment; OSCE; reflective log book.
