Aims of Module
This module aims to enhance clinical knowledge and professional radiography skills developed during the previous five clinical modules of the course and apply them to investigations and clinical experiences that may be encountered by a newly qualified practitioner.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Demonstrate highly articulate communication skills in a range of clinical environments.
2 Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and skills in safe and effective clinical practice.
3 Practice a comprehensive range of radiographic procedures under minimal clinical supervision.
4 Critically analyse all aspects of diagnostic imaging practice.
5 Demonstrate the values and attitudes required of a diagnostic radiographer, displaying professionalism at all times and identify areas for professional development whilst managing own health and well-being.

Indicative Module Content
This practice-based module will include experiential learning involving practice with minimal supervision, 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 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 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 4 weeks; this will equate to 150 contact hours.
