Reference HS4089 Version 6
Created April 2023 SCQF Level SCQF 10
Approved November 2012 SCQF Points 15
Amended June 2023 ECTS Points 7.5

Aims of Module
This module aims to enhance clinical knowledge and skills developed during the first three years of the course and apply them to complex investigations and highly demanding clinical experiences.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Demonstrate highly articulate communication skills in challenging clinical environments.
2 Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and skills in safe and effective clinical practice in challenging clinical environments.
3 Demonstrate professional behaviours, conduct and attitudes in challenging clinical environments.
4 Practice a range of radiographic procedures under minimal clinical supervision in challenging clinical environments.
5 Critically analyse and evaluate effective diagnostic imaging practice.

Indicative Module Content
This practice-based module will include experiential learning involving supervised practice, professional discussion and reflective activities which involve linking theory with practice. This will include orientation to the department and observation of the clinical practices on a day by day basis. Under supervision the student will undertake a range of radiographic procedures, demonstrating an appropriate level of care 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.

Module Delivery
This is a practice based module with supportive input from academic staff. Each student will undertake 37.5 hours per week in the nominated clinical imaging department for a period of 6 weeks; this will equate to 225 contact hours.
