Paediatric Imaging (Taught)

This PGC will allow current practitioners to increase their knowledge and skills in the specialist area of paediatric imaging. This is often a challenging area of practice which is reliant on an in-depth understanding on child psychology and physiology combined with the need to work effectively across multi-professionals teams, using highly polished communication skills. It will allow the students the opportunity to combine theoretical and clinical knowledge to their current practice.

During this course, you will learn the theoretical aspects of child psychology and development. The skeletal and developmental differences in the skeleton will be explored alongside the role of projection imaging which will be underpinned by your work-based learning in practice. You will also develop your knowledge and understanding of Suspected Physical Abuse and explore the role of the radiographer within such cases whilst developing an appreciation of the complexities that these cases present.
