Program Description
Students could work in one of several sections within a hospital medical-imaging department and carry out a variety of imaging investigations, including projection radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This course combines academic study with practice placements in hospital imaging departments across the North East. Students develop the knowledge, skills and experience for a rewarding career in diagnostic radiography. Throughout the course, as part of the placement experience, students will be required to participate in a shift pattern rota, including weekends.
Prospective applicants are advised to research the profession of diagnostic radiography prior to writing their personal statements and attendance at the selection event. The very best way to gain an impression of the role is to spend time in the clinical department or gaining experience working or volunteering for vulnerable persons.
