As a radiographer, you work in a fast-paced environment where patient interactions are often relatively short compared with other health care settings. Therefore, you need to draw upon your strong interpersonal and communication skills to quickly put patients at ease. You are also responsible for the physical and psychosocial care of the patient and must demonstrate a high level of patient care, empathy and compassion.
This fast-track diagnostic radiography course can lead to registration with the Health and Care Professions Council. High-quality radiographers with leadership and intellectual skills are highly sought by prospective NHS employers to help drive change in service delivery. The course is particularly suited to applicants with a biomedical sciences or anatomy background.
Your practice placements are in Middlesbrough, Stockton, Hartlepool, Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Sunderland, Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, and both North and South Tyneside.
Study this course and you may be eligible for a £5,000 maintenance grant each year from the NHS Business Service Authority. Find out more.
