DIAGNOSTIC RADIOGRAPHY*

MSc (pre-registration)

This course will allow current graduates with an appropriate first degree to undertake a two-year MSc programme in diagnostic radiography. It is designed to develop practitioners who can rapidly respond to a challenging and diverse environment in which traditional health and social care roles are transforming in response to wider demographic, social, economic and political change. According to the latest workforce census data from the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR, 2020) there was a 9.6% vacancy rate in diagnostic radiography posts. It was also highlighted in the Richards’ review (Richards, 2020), that a significant increase in the radiographic workforce is needed to staff the Community Diagnostic Hubs/Diagnostic Assessment Centres.

This course will prepare students with relevant and current knowledge, skills and understanding to achieve the level of competence essential for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) for professional practice as a diagnostic radiographer. Students will undertake a range of modules which will equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills including theoretical and practice elements. Placement learning is an integral part of the course developing knowledge and understanding of radiography whilst linking theoretical and practice components.
