Description for 2020/21

The aims of the module are to identify and explore the application of plain film imaging of the skeleton within the context of trauma management. Mobile radiography, fluoroscopic examinations, and other complex imaging modalities will be explored including the impact on the service user undergoing these examinations.The module content encompasses the imaging techniques used (and associated clinical skills required) for routinely performed fluoroscopic examinations, including angiography, and mobile examinations, within environments such as theatres, intensive care, the special care baby unit and the emergency department.

Aims

Intended Learning Outcomes

evaluate the role of the radiographer within a multidisciplinary team while undertaking person-centred trauma, mobile and fluoroscopic examinations; will be achieved by assessments: 1
demonstrate attention to the needs of service users and work safely in trauma, mobile and fluoroscopic examinations; will be achieved by assessments: 2,3,4
discuss the range of techniques required in mobile and fluoroscopic procedures and their appropriate application;
will be achieved by assessments: 1,3,4,5
undertake a range of examinations requiring adaptation of technique and supplementary projections, under appropriate supervision.

will be achieved by assessments: 3,4,5

Study hours

60 hours of lectures, practical sessions and formative assessments to address radiation protection relating to fluoroscopy, mobiles, theatre, ITU and resuscitation environments. Sessions to include skill acquisition for tasks such as aseptic technique, electronic monitoring and preparation for more complex radiological diagnostic procedures. Other complex imaging modalities will also be similarly explored.
It is anticipated that study hours will include approximately 69 hours of practice experience. This is derived from a total of 413 hours, averaged across all six assessed modules in year 2.
