What others have said:
"The MSc Clinical reporting is seen as a sector-leading programme and it further supports the developing service requirement for reporting radiographers at consultant and advanced practitioner levels. This is considered to be an example of good practice nationally".
(QAA, Subject Review, 2005)
"We have all had a high quality learning experience….the course has introduced us to the benefits of working within multiprofessional teams….
and has enabled us to develop further professional skills to practice in an enhanced role as a reporting radiographer within the NHS (which has greatly benefited our patients"
(Student representative, PQMER, 2007)
"A particular strength of the course is the faculty staff who manage to combine their undoubted experience and expertise with unflagging enthusiasm…. There is evidence of excellent communication….
"The course team are taking a very active stance with regard to developing assessment processes (Objective Structured Examinations) which are in a soft copy form. The digitised images are of a very high quality, and the interactive environment (KPACS) is flexible and user friendly. To reach this high standard takes a great deal of hard work".
"The use of a computer based interactive environment (KPACS) for assessment is particularly worth noting. It may well have applications for other health care science users".
"The postgraduate reporting qualifications from Canterbury are recognised and highly regarded throughout the UK".
(External Examiner, 2007)
