Course summary

This unique course allows you to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to become an outstanding radiographer while enhancing your learning with foundational ultrasound experience. You will benefit from an extended second year that incorporates intensive simulation and additional clinical placements with regional ultrasound providers across the healthcare sector.Ultrasonography is usually offered through postgraduate training alone, and It is appreciated that you would still require a preceptorship year to consolidate your knowledge before moving on to postgraduate study.- This is an unique course, giving you a foundation in ultrasonography whilst still enabling you to register with the HCPC as a diagnostic radiographer.- Train using advanced medical imaging technology, at the forefront of modern patient care.- Practise your clinical and communication skills in the Clinical Skills Resource Centre (CSRC) which features specially designed replicas of hospital wards and emergency rooms, with high-specification patient-simulators.- Deepen your understanding of the structure and functionality of the human body at our Life Sciences Resource Centre (LSRC).- Receive an ipad for the duration of your course.- Learn from real patients from the outset, with clinical placements starting in the first semester of Year 1.- Take part in expert-led discussions around clinical case studies and the latest medical science breakthroughs, through our structured small groups teaching approach, including enquiry-based learning. These are also a great opportunity to learn from other students’ knowledge and experience.- Online systems support your learning including the custom-made student logbook where you can access lecture notes, online assessment systems and lecture sessions.- In Year 1, students will study in Plymouth, with all of their clinical placements within daily commute. In Years 2 and 3, all students will complete a semester in Plymouth for the academic delivery, and then a semester on clinical placement in the South West and other locations.
