Exeter radiography handbook

Students are issued with four tunics and two pairs of trousers. If students wish to wear their own trousers, these must be of a similar style to those issued by the university. Shoes should be plain, flat and black. Trainers, backless shoes or sandals are not permitted.

An optional headscarf or hijab may be worn but must be plain black, compliant with infection control washing requirements and should be tucked in to avoid risk to the wearer. Long hair should be tied back neatly. Minimal jewellery is permitted; wedding rings and small stud ear-rings are acceptable.

However, facial piercings, large ear-rings, large rings and wrist-watches are not permitted. It should be remembered that all rings create an infection-control risk and should therefore be minimised. Most NHS trusts operate a 'bare below the elbows' infection control policy which students are expected to comply with. Uniforms must not be worn outside the workplace. It is the student's responsibility to report immediately any pregnancy, or possible pregnancy, to both the Link Radiographer and the Director of Practice Education Medical Imaging.

This information will be treated entirely confidentially, but working practices will be amended in accordance with departmental radiation protection policies. Students must ensure confidentiality by only accessing medical records, images or reports for patients when they are directly involved in the care of that patient.

Access must be limited to material directly relevant to the care of the patient, and the information must be used for no purpose other than the benefit of the patient. In other words, students must not access such information about other students, staff, friends or relatives, etc. Contravention of this rule will be regarded as a direct breach of this Code of Practice and may result in a student being unable to continue on this programme.

This list is not exhaustive but is indicative of the type of activity that will be regarded as unacceptable. Any written work submitted for assessment including case-based reports must not contain any information that could make it possible to identify an individual or the hospital department.

All hospital databases record activity. In other words, it is possible to identify whose hospital records a student has accessed during a clinical placement.

This type of monitoring will be undertaken at the request of any member of the staff or student body if it is suspected that inappropriate accesses have been made. Students should also note that making unauthorised access to computer records is a criminal offence Computer Misuse Act Degree Apprenticeships Programmes Employers Aspiring apprentices.

This full-time three-year programme includes clinical placements in hospitals across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, which stretch into the summer vacation and, as such, this programme is longer than those in other subjects.

You will have three clinical placements as part of the degree programme, where you will attend a different placement site for four months during each year. Around fifty percent of your time will be spent in clinical practice. Each clinical block is about 4 months in length. You go to a different placement site for each of your years of study. In addition to these three core placements, students who transfer to the MSci will undertake a 7 week specialist placement during year 4.

Students enrolled on this BSc Hons programme may be eligible to transfer to a four year Integrated Masters MSci programme at the end of year two. This offer will be made on the basis of academic performance in years 1 and 2. This year provides a foundation in the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for radiography. Academic study provides theoretical knowledge of patient care, anatomy, imaging techniques, professional practice and the science that underpins medical imaging.

This is then complemented with a clinical placement that provides practical experience in the safe and effective practice of general and fluoroscopic radiography.

Modules cover patient care, anatomy and physiology, clinical imaging and practical placement. Year two develops further understanding of anatomical and physiological concepts in contemporary clinical imaging practice. You will develop your knowledge of radiation science and gain an appreciation of safe and optimal use of radiation-based imaging techniques, alongside a clinical placement.

This code of conduct is applicable throughout the programme regardless of whether it is a clinical or academic period. Whilst the Health and Care Professions Council HCPC does not currently register, regulate or intervene with student radiographers, it is vital that students graduate with full understanding of the requirements for registration with the regulatory body and the impact that poor conduct, performance and ethics may have on their ability to do so.
