Diagnostic radiographers are at the forefront of healthcare delivery, interacting directly with service users and carers to obtain and evaluate images of skeletal and soft tissue abnormalities and injuries. These images not only aid in diagnoses but also guide direct interventional treatments and therapies.

• Learn the scientific principles behind a variety of imaging methods including conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radionuclide imaging (RNI) and ultrasound (US).
• Gain knowledge in health-related sciences, including anatomy, physiology, medical physics, imaging technology and radiographic techniques, forming the foundation knowledge for the operation and interpretation of radiography technology.
• Practice-based learning includes state-of-the-art simulation and clinical placements2,5. Apply your theoretical knowledge to the real world in diverse practice environments such as acute, district and community services, and public, private and charitable organisations.
• Learn to collaborate and thrive as a radiographer across and within multidisciplinary teams.
• Study one academic module at a time, with five weeks of learning followed by one week of assessment per module.
• Successful completion of this course will mean you meet the academic requirements set by the Health and Care Profession Council (HCPC) and the Society and College of Radiographers (SoR), opening the door to career opportunities both in the UK and abroad (please see Accreditation section for more information).
• All eligible learners on this course can apply for a minimum payment from the Government of £5,000 per year. You can apply for additional payments if you incur childcare costs6.
