Overview
This 30 credit Dynamic Studies (DS) module is for students who are enhancing their practice within the field of fluoroscopy. It is designed to enable you to develop your practical and diagnostic reporting skills within one area of fluoroscopy practice in a single academic year.
Dynamic Studies may be able to accommodate individual requirements for enhanced practice. For niche areas it may not be possible for the academic team to provide a full curriculum. Your mentor and clinical site will be required to provide subject specific teaching and you will need to supplement this with a large proportion of self-directed study. If you would like to discuss how we can work together to develop your practice please contact the programme leader, Joanne Ashworth j.ashworth@salford.ac.uk in advance of your application.
Method of assessment:
You will be assessed by submission of a Clinical Record of Achievement, written assignment and a Viva Voce to demonstrate your enhanced clinical skills.
How you'll learn
Future careers
This module can be taken as stand-alone for the purposes of continuing professional development or as part of our MSc Advanced Medical Imaging programme.
Career Links
As a school, we work with over 100 health and social care organisations so our links with industry are very strong. These relationships will be of direct benefit to you because our academic team work in practice in some of these organisations at a senior level so are able to keep you at the forefront of developments in the sector which in turn help you provide a better service.
Modules
As a student on an MSc programme, you are expected to be an independent learner, be able to identify your own learning needs and work toward achieving them. The assessment strategy is designed to test the student’s competence and ability to reflect and learn.
DS must be completed alongside our Principles of Advanced Practice and Core Skills for Radiological Reporting modules. Completing the post graduate certificate will enable you to develop your skills to become competent in performing an imaging technique and to effectively formulate diagnoses and communicate your reports both verbally and in writing.
DS is also available as a standalone year 2 module or as part of your PGDip if the PAP and CSRR modules have previously been completed. Accreditation of prior learning may be possible if you acquired credits at another HEI.
DS is available as part of our MSc Advanced Medical Imaging.
