Description for 2022/23

The aims of the module are to identify and explore the application of plain film imaging of the skeleton within the context of trauma management. Mobile radiography, fluoroscopic examinations, and other complex imaging modalities will be explored including the impact on the service user undergoing these examinations. The module will explore and analyse the role of the radiographer in the ever-changing environment of health promotion.
The module content encompasses the imaging techniques used (and associated clinical skills required) for routinely performed fluoroscopic examinations, including angiography, and mobile examinations, within environments such as theatres, intensive care, the special care baby unit and the emergency department.

Aims

Intended Learning Outcomes

Examine the role of the radiographer within a multidisciplinary team while undertaking person-centred trauma, mobile and fluoroscopic examinations.: 5
Appraise the range of techniques required in mobile and fluoroscopic procedures and their appropriate application.
: 5
Critically analyse the role of the radiographer and the radiography profession in health promotion, health education and preventing ill-health. Evaluate how a radiographer could incorporate health promotion into their own practice.: 1
Undertake a range of examinations requiring adaptation of technique and supplementary projections, under appropriate supervision.

: 4
Compare and contrast the differing needs of different service users and how to adapt practice to work safely in trauma, mobile and fluoroscopic examinations.: 2,3,4,5
