Diagnostic Radiography (Pre-Registration)

Overview

Radiographers work with the latest technology and often in fast paced environments where a clear head and an organised approach is key to safe practice. You build on your prior learning of anatomy and physiology to develop a critical understanding of contemporary radiography practice. 

You gain the skills to be a safe, autonomous, caring, professional practitioner. Core skills underpinning radiography include dispensing ionising radiation, interpreting medical image appearances, care of the patient and use of technology. We take a problem-based approach to learning, which includes opportunities to share learning with students from other allied health professions to promote teamwork and engagement. Successful completion of the Diagnostic Radiography (Pre-Registration) programme, offered by Teesside University, provides eligibility to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council and membership of the Society and College of Radiographers.
