Program Description
Medical imaging is key to fast and accurate diagnosis in modern healthcare. As a radiographer students meet a variety of people and help provide them with a diagnosis to inform their treatment.
Radiographers work with the latest technology and often in fast paced environments where a clear head and an organized approach is key to safe practice. Students build on their prior learning of anatomy and physiology to develop a critical understanding of contemporary radiography practice. Students gain the skills to be a safe, autonomous, caring, professional practitioner.
Core skills underpinning radiography include dispensing ionising radiation, interpreting medical image appearances, care of the patient and use of technology. Teesside takes a problem-based approach to learning, which includes opportunities to share learning with students from other allied health professions to promote teamwork and engagement.
