Course Summary

This course will allow you to develop your theoretical knowledge and your clinical experience and apply these to current practice. This will support the development of MRI services within your department and equip you with skills and knowledge to evidence your role as an advanced practitioner in MRI.

Introduction

This course has been designed to support the advancing practice of radiographers in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Between April 2019 and March 2020, 44.9 million diagnostic imaging examinations took place in England alone of which 3.8 million were MRI scans. This is an increase of 1.8% on the year 2018-19 and it is fully expected that this will continue year on year.
