The course includes a range of areas of radiographer reporting including musculoskeletal (appendicular and axial skeleton), chest and MRI. Research associated with your course has gained international recognition and other countries are now developing similar advanced practice courses to improve patient pathways and address increasing clinical workloads.

Reporting by radiographers is an exciting and developing area of practice. We offer a variety of opportunities for your continuing professional development through the range of courses offered by our University and we look forward to working with you.

Further Information regarding your course Welcome and Induction will be shared with you via the course team.

You will receive further information and pre-course work for your specific pathway from your course leader before you start your course.

We would encourage you to review the course structure and module options via your course page before you arrive and to bring any questions you might have for discussion during our initial Welcome activities.
