It will enable radiographers to extend their theoretical knowledge and skills in the area of imaging and to influence service improvement within the workplace. During this course, you will learn the theoretical aspects of child psychology and development. The skeletal and developmental differences in the skeleton will be explored alongside the role of projection imaging which will be underpinned by your work-based learning in practice.
