Description for 2024/25

This module is the clinical placement module for the first year of the BSc (Hons) Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging) Apprenticeship programme where apprentices start to apply the theoretical concepts of radiographic practice into everyday clinical practice. The apprentice will complete assessments in plain radiograph imaging and will reflect on their learning experiences.

This module will enable the apprentice to develop and refine skills attained in radiographic positioning, patient care and multi-disciplinary teamwork, in the clinical environment. This will be achieved with structured support from practice educators and under supervision from appropriately qualified staff in a relevant external setting. The module will enable apprentice to reflect on their personal and professional performance and behaviour in a clinical setting, and to modify their practice accordingly with appropriate support. The apprentice will develop their radiographic knowledge and skills primarily in general radiography but will also have exposure to theatre radiography, fluoroscopy and cross-sectional imaging modalities.
