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.

What is it about?

This module provides the trainee with the knowledge that underpins the specialist practice in Imaging with Ionising Radiation in the third year of MSc and gives the trainee the tools to undertake learning in the workplace.

Who is it for?

Health care science workforce


What will participants learn?


 


Intended Knowledge Outcomes
•Demonstrate a critical understanding of the fundamental scientific principles and processes behind the safe production of radiopharmaceuticals within a legislative framework.
•Demonstrate a critical understanding of the physiological and pathological processes giving rise to image findings and the consequences of the result of the procedure to the patient’s overall clinical management, particularly in relation to radiotherapy and radiotherapy treatment planning.
•Demonstrate a critical understanding of safety and management in the use of ionising radiation in
a variety of clinical applications, including dose determination and optimisation.
•Display a critical understanding of the issues involved in designing radiation facilities and the
process of commissioning new specialised equipment.

Intended Skill Outcomes
•Apply the principles of tracer kinetics, pharmacokinetics and use of radiopharmaceuticals as
physiological markers and therapeutic agents.
•Critically appraise ionising radiation applications and optimise practices.
•Apply mathematical principles to the calculation of safe doses for a variety of critical groups.
