This 25 Credit M-level module will explore issues of professionalism and role development in preparation for graduation and employment in a first-post either in the NHS (Band 5 Diagnostic Radiographer) or private organisational setting. The module builds on the clinical practice from Year 1 of the MSc, and imaging modalities and associated anatomy and pathology in both Year 1 and Year 2. The module will facilitate critical exploration of both the entry level and advanced roles radiographers can undertake. Teaching will be a mixture of online and synchronous on-campus lectures with quiz based formative tests, and group work in order to explore service user experiences of health-care in addition to group workshops to provide peer-feedback on the written assignment.
Assessment consists of an online portfolio and an essay on the role of the radiographer in advanced practice.
