COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY PgC

This PgC will allow you to increase your knowledge and skills in the specialist area of Computed Tomography (CT). This is often a challenging area of practice due to the advancing technology, the rising demand for services and the autonomous role of the practitioner. It is anticipated that this course will allow you the opportunity to include a combination of theoretical and clinical knowledge to your current practice and support the advanced practitioner roles required as part of the four-tier structure within CT.

You will learn the theoretical and technical aspects of CT, underpinned by work-based learning in practice. You will also enhance your knowledge and understanding of the role of the radiographer within CT whilst developing an appreciation of service development to manage effective delivery and patient-focused care.

The programme takes an integrated approach to modular learning and this is reflected in the teaching strategy. A range of techniques based on blended learning are employed, for example interactive lectures, student-led seminars, group work, online learning environments, problem-based learning/evidence-based learning, workshops, case studies and clinical experience. You will be actively encouraged throughout the programme to connect theory with practice, which is crucial in any vocational programme.

Preparing for your future: all students will already hold posts across the healthcare sector, nonetheless completion of this programme will enable students to progress into advanced practitioner/lead roles in CT. Students completing the PgC element of the programme will be encouraged to apply for Advanced Practitioner accreditation with the College of Radiographers.
