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. |
