General Information

Overview

During this work integrated learning placement you will apply the knowledge and skills previously developed in the pre-clinical simulation environment. Placed within radiology departments or clinics, you will work under the guidance and mentorship of clinical radiographers to perform radiography in a professional and effective manner and become a useful member of the imaging team. As this is your first block placement, your performance focus will be on general radiography examinations of non-complex patients. You will undergo performance assessments on imaging examinations previously learned in the academic environment. You will also be assessed on your professional behaviours and attributes. Reflective practice will assist you in developing your skills throughout this unit.
