Postgraduate Certificate in Computed Tomography
University of SuffolkIpswich, United Kingdom
Course overview
The Postgraduate Certificate (PgC) in Computed Tomography (CT) is designed for qualified diagnostic and therapeutic radiographers, to support the enhancement of their practice. CT is central to modern diagnostics and treatment planning, and an integral part of the service user’s pathway. As such, radiographers working within CT, must develop an expanding scope of practice, in alignment with the rapidly evolving technological capabilities and complexity of our services.
This course intends to bridge the gap between technical mastery of fundamental concepts and humanistic elements of service delivery, through completion of the two modules: Fundamentals of CT and Service delivery. The Fundamentals of CT module primarily focuses on the physical principles of CT, including clinical applications. The Service delivery module, will look at ground floor service management of a shift, adapting and optimising resources to ensure exceptional patient care and service user focussed services.
