STUDY

This module will enhance students’ overall understanding of child development and behaviour and how to support this in their everyday practice. It will also encourage the identification and consideration of determinant factors in order for the radiographer to provide a positive environment for children when visiting an imaging department. It will provide students with a firm theoretical grounding in theories of children’s development in order to underpin and influence their practice.

Students will learn about the range of projection imaging techniques which are used to diagnose conditions and trauma which are typically presented by paediatric patients. The importance of the diagnostic content of the resultant imaging will be examined and students will be taught the significant radiological features which influences management of the condition. Specific needs and care of children (and their carers) undergoing radiographic procedures will be explored in the context of relevant protocols and legislation. It is envisaged that students will have an opportunity to share their experiences and working practices.

This module will provide students with the necessary knowledge and understanding to deal with suspected physical abuse cases and to be able to provide optimum diagnostic images and initial comments. Registry Services complex emotional and management issues to consider and these will be considered alongside current protocols and guidelines underpinned by ethical and legal professional practice. It will also encourage the students to develop a reflexive approach to their practice in order to provide the best possible care for the child and their family/carers.
