Course Details
This module covers the core skills to equip students with the knowledge and attributes for the interpretation of radiographic images. Students will be encouraged to apply the principles to manage and independently report complex caseloads autonomously and within their scope of practice.
Current and emerging standards relating to the role of the reporting radiographer will be discussed. The content will typically include pattern recognition, report structure to provide interpretive and actionable reports for musculoskeletal plain film imaging. Professional responsibilities such as reflection, engagement with quality assurance procedures and engagement within research and education to develop into an advanced practitioner will be discussed. Understanding of an individual’s scope of practice and recognition of the standards and guidance associated with clinical radiographic reporting are vital aspects that will be discussed to underpin a student’s understanding of the legal issues surrounding this role. Organisational issues such as quality assurance, audit and engaging in inter-professional team working, education and research will also be discussed.
Delivery of the module will embody the Herts learning principles – using a blended and flexible learning approach. You should be available to attend all days as advertised.

1. Critically review and analyse the professional, ethical, organisational and legal requirements of clinical radiographic reporting and the impact of the radiographic report on patient diagnosis and case management.

3. Critically analyse and apply the principles of clinical radiographic reporting in relation to the structure and significance of information given in a formal radiographic report and its role in patient diagnosis and case management.
