Here you can find all the modules and masterclasses that we commission as part of our continuing workfroce development (CWD) portfolio.

You can filter the results by the following:

  • course type
  • university
  • level and credits
  • subject area

A masterclass is an update course lasting one day. Please read the description carefully around what will be delivered. A masterclass is not at master’s level. Some will be a basic introduction to a subject and some may be building on previous knowledge. A masterclass does not prepare anyone to deliver specialist services. We recommend you speak directly to your chosen university about the details of any masterclass you are interested in.

A module will have academic credits attached to it at either level 6 (bachelor degree level) or level 7 (master’s level). You will be expected to complete an academic assignment. Some modules will last for 9–12 months and some may be completed within three months.

You can also search via keyword using the search box on the right hand side.

There is also a PDF of the full portfolio available, which can be downloaded here.

Diagnosis and Management of Cardiac Rhythm Disorders

This module provides the trainee with the knowledge that underpins the radiotherapy physics specialism in the second year of the Modernising Scientific Careers Scientist Training Programme and gives the trainee the tools to undertake project based learning in the workplace and meet the STP curriculum as approved by the Medical Education England Healthcare Science Programme Board.

Ultrasound Imaging in Cardiac Disease

In this module, students develop a sophisticated understanding of global health issues and challenges, by ‘drilling down’ in detail, with specific attention to such topics as globalisation and health; maternal and child health; and health inequalities in global context.
Accredited ModuleNewcastle UniversityLevel 7, 10 credits

Imaging with Ionising Radiation 2

To explore the contribution of epidemiology to understanding and addressing the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the UK and other industrialised countries. The module starts with a consideration of changes in demography and disease patterns that led to chronic non-communicable diseases becoming the predominant health problems in the UK and similar countries. It then considers the major determinants of those diseases, from underlying socio economic structures through to individual behaviours and genetic determinants.

Radiation Safety Physics 2

This module will provide an introduction to some fundamental concepts of economics that are relevant for healthy policy decision making and analysis. The first day will focus on how markets work, why they fail in healthcare and an introduction to health economics and economic evaluation. The three main types of economic evaluation (cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-utility analysis and cost-benefit analysis), how and when they should be applied, and their pros and cons will be discussed.

Radiotherapy Physics 2

This module aims to provide students with an understanding of current global health issues, focusing mainly on developing countries and on the expanding range of actors in today's increasingly complicated health policy landscape. The module presents the challenges and opportunities in dealing with health and health care in the context of resource poor countries, whilst also interrogating the reasons that some settings are 'resource-poor' and others not. It will take an interdisciplinary approach and will utilize various perspectives including epidemiology, anthropology, clinical medicine, and political science.

Diagnostic Approaches and Current Treatment of Cardiovascular Disorders

This module provides the underpinning knowledge aligned with the work based practical training programme in cardiac science. The module has three sections: non-invasive diagnostics, invasive diagnostics and therapeutic interventions. Within each of these areas, students gain an understanding of the techniques involved, as well as the ability to interpret results and write reports for a range of cardiac procedures.

Imaging with Non-Ionising Radiation 1

To understand ways of using routine information and applying epidemiological principles to practical public health problems. Content includes routine data sources, interpreting health information, uses of population and health related data for public health and health service planning, screening and basic principles of demography.

Imaging with Ionising Radiation 1

This module introduces students to the key principles of public health protection, illustrated by reference to common communicable diseases and environmental hazards in the UK. Students will develop an understanding of major factors contributing to health protection risk, the fundamental principles of assessment and control of these risks. Local and national methods of surveillance will be described, including their application in monitoring patterns of illness in the population and identification of outbreaks of communicable disease. Examples of communicable disease outbreaks and environmental investigations will be used to illustrate the commonly used epidemiological methods and demonstrate the importance of partnership working in health protection.

Radiation Safety Physics 1

This module introduces key concepts underpinning health care quality. It covers the theory and practice of different approaches to quality improvement as well as the evidence base for and methods of evaluating approaches to improve the quality of health care. The module will place these topics within the context of several strategies employed to address quality within the British NHS, including: the Darzi review; safety improvement; clinical governance; and clinical guidelines.

Radiotherapy Physics 1

This module focuses on health inequalities within countries and responses to them. The module will be delivered through a series of interactive lectures and seminars, and draw on local, national and international case studies to illustrate the application of social theory, empirical health research, policy and practice in ‘real world’ settings. The module will begin with an overview of sociological ideas and perspectives as an introduction to the discipline. This will lead into discussion of the social context of health and health inequalities at macro and micro sociological levels. The case for an understanding of social factors in health, wellbeing and illness will be made by considering a range of social theories and social divisions (social class, gender, ethnicity, age).
Accredited ModuleNewcastle UniversityLevel 7, 10 credits

Introduction to Cardiac Science

This module provides students with in-depth, case study-based understanding of social determinants of health, their contribution to health inequalities and the basis for developing policies and interventions to address social determinants of health. Emphasis is placed on research led teaching by leading authorities in the field.
Accredited ModuleNewcastle UniversityLevel 7, 10 credits

Public Health Intervention

This module provides an opportunity for the student to develop their knowledge of clinical assessment techniques and gain a greater understanding of related diagnostic modalities, for example clinical imaging and pathology. Applications across a range of clinical settings, including critical care, will be explored and the trainee will gain insight into the interpretation and clinical decision making in the context of differential diagnosis.

Health Economics

This module will provide an introduction to some fundamental concepts of economics that are relevant for healthy policy decision making and analysis. The first day will focus on how markets work, why they fail in healthcare and an introduction to health economics and economic evaluation.  The three main types of economic evaluation (cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-utility analysis and cost-benefit analysis), how and when they should be applied, and their pros and cons will be discussed.
