In your final year of study, you are transitioning from student to independent practitioner. Nearing completion of your tertiary studies to begin a career in your selected profession is a huge learning milestone. This transition phase of your learning journey is also a starting point for another learning journey, i.e. your continuing development as a professional. To support your transition, this unit focuses on the development of your clinical decision making skills to work autonomously as a graduate practitioner as well as your preparation for seeking employment as a newly qualified radiographer. You will apply concepts and processes of facility accreditation, quality improvement, risk management, incident management, patient information systems and healthcare records to the analysis and discussion of clinical incidents and near misses. You will further develop your ability to contribute to the education of your peers in line with your professional registration requirements.
