The School are also developing a new MSc Advanced Clinical Practitioner (Radiography) apprenticeship programme, which is due to be presented for approval in Spring 2022.
The MSc Medical Imaging and nested Postgraduate Diploma and specialist Postgraduate Certificates are available as target awards. The MSc Medical Imaging programme provides healthcare practitioners engaged in a diverse range of imaging specialities with a vocational pathway of flexible study. It is designed to support healthcare practitioners develop the knowledge, understanding and skills in medical imaging that are required of a professional who aspires to work at an advanced level of practice.
The MSc Advanced Clinical Practice (Radiography) programme covers the four pillars of Advanced Clinical Practice. The programme has been specifically designed to meet the need for expert radiographers who undertake reporting for the NHS and independent heath organisations and is validated by the Society of Radiographers, incorporating their criteria for advanced practice. The revised curriculum will broaden the scope of the Advanced Practice beyond radiographic reporting.
