Modules that form part of the PGDip Nuclear Medicine Imaging Programme
As a healthcare professional, this course offers you a valuable multidisciplinary opportunity to participate in continuing professional development.
During your time with us, you'll tackle five compulsory modules that will develop a deep understanding of the theory of nuclear medicine imaging. Practically, it will allow you to develop skills in nuclear medicine that will allow you to practice competently and deal with complex and challenging situations
The course takes a blended approach to learning (also known as hybrid learning) that combines online lectures, tutorials and workshops through our virtual learning environment (BlackBoard) with traditional in-person teaching at the University.
The opportunity to come to University and meet your peers is important as it helps to develop a sense of community and you are able to support each other through the programme. The time at university is highly valued by students.
You must have a UK-based clinical placement before commencing the course and spend a minimum of 3 days per week in clinical practice (excluding annual leave and weeks at the University). We can advise on this should you not have a placement but please note we cannot arrange it for you. Please contact the programme leader Rob Higgins for advice: r.n.higgins@salford.ac.uk
