Course description
These programmes are particularly suitable for radiographers, physiotherapists and operating department practitioners. You may pursue a range of awards in professional development utilising the units available within the scheme and in the wider faculty framework. We aim to provide a high degree of flexibility, allied to responsiveness to the local service needs. You will be able to pursue your own developmental needs in the context of service requirements and to pursue requirements for advanced and consultant practice aligned with the knowledge and skills framework.
You can use the programme to register for a specified award, and agree at entry all of the units to be undertaken register for a PgCert, and later opt to move on to a PgDip or MSc, undertaking a variety of units as stand alone courses and building this over time into an award.
BSc (Hons) route will be of specific interest to Operating Department Practitioners by providing a ‘top-up’ option. Those holding an NVQ will be considered for entry onto the BSc (Hons) programme using accreditation of prior learning, or via a bridging programme.
Work-based Learning
A major feature of this programme is the option for you to pursue specific knowledge and skills development in your area of practice through the use of work-based learning. You can construct a unit or programme that meets your specific needs with the possibility to achieve a postgraduate award. For example, if you are a radiographer, you could gain clinical or reporting skills in a wide range of areas such as barium studies, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound or x-ray guided biopsy.
Career opportunities
Requirements in respect of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) linked to professional regulation and Knowledge Skills Framework (KSF) requirements, means that flexible and responsive education and training provision is increasingly important to practitioners and their managers. This programme will assist in developing your career options as a practitioner, or into specialist, advanced and consultant practice, research or management areas.
Typical background of applicant
You will be a registered practitioner in one of the Allied Health Professions, with a relevant professional qualification, or in possession of a first degree in a science, biomedical or health and social care subject.
Professional contacts/industry links
The programme has professional body approval where this is relevant, e.g. College of Radiographers.
