You’ll also achieve an understanding of radiological science which is associated with medical imaging and radiation protection. An introduction to research methods in health care will highlight the importance of evidence-based practice in diagnostic radiography. You’ll develop into a diagnostic radiographer with the skills, knowledge and understanding required for safe and ethical practice. This expertise will be underpinned by a caring approach to patients, providing care in a professional, culturally sensitive and emotionally intelligent manner, with the ability to identify potential improvements in service delivery. On completion of the course, you’ll be eligible to apply for professional registration with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC). This registration is required to work as a diagnostic radiographer in the UK.
