MODULE DESCRIPTOR
Module Title
Radiographic Clinical Practice 3
Reference	HS2098	Version	5
Created	February 2019	SCQF Level	SCQF 8
Approved	July 2017	SCQF Points	30
Amended	June 2019	ECTS Points	15

Aims of Module
This module aims to enable students to build upon previous their radiographic clinical knowledge and skills and apply them to a wider range of radiographic procedures and settings as per department requirements.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1	Demonstrate appropriate imaging in pre-chosen area(s) of clinical imaging in the clinical work environment under clinical supervision.
2	Use safe working practices in pre-chosen area(s) of clinical imaging investigations.
3	Demonstrate effective preparation, communication and care, for patients undergoing imaging investigations in a range of settings.
4	Reflect upon and discuss new learning from clinical practice in pre-chosen area(s) of clinical practice and with a range of multidisciplinary teams

Indicative Module Content
This practice based module will include experiential learning involving supervised practice in pre-chosen area(s) of clinical imaging; linking theory with practice and developing clinical and professional skills through reflection and discussion. The clinical will start with observation of clinical practice followed by supervised practice. Under supervision, the student will undertake appropriate radiographic procedures (as per pre-chosen areas[s] of clinical imaging), demonstrating an appropriate level of care and communication before, during and after the intervention. The student will also have opportunities to self-assess radiographic skills and to plan and organise involvement in the department. Attendance at appropriate clinical meetings will be encouraged. The student will be given the opportunity to reflect on and discuss his/her progress and to explore personal strengths and to implement strategies to overcome weaknesses.
