Course Overview

Medical imaging is critical to fast and accurate diagnosis in modern healthcare. This is a unique, progressive, and integrated fast-track course. It incorporates natural sciences, clinical sciences, health policy, and research methods.

A diagnostic radiographer’s work is incredibly diverse, challenging and rewarding. You use the latest medical imaging technology to produce high-quality diagnostic images to support clinical diagnosis and treatment of trauma or disease. You work with other healthcare professionals to provide imaging and treatment services for patients in busy clinical settings, including accident and emergency, general X-ray and theatre.

As a radiographer, you work in a fast-paced environment where patient interactions are often relatively short compared with other healthcare settings. Therefore, you must draw upon your strong interpersonal and communication skills to put patients at ease quickly. You are also responsible for the physical and psychosocial care of the patient and must demonstrate a high level of patient care, empathy and compassion.

This fast-track diagnostic radiography course can lead to registration with the Health and Care Professions Council. Prospective NHS employers highly seek high-quality radiographers with leadership and intellectual skills to help drive change in service delivery. The course suits applicants with a biomedical sciences or anatomy background.
