Apprentice Diagnostic Radiographer Review

I have recently completed a BSc diagnostic radiography degree apprenticeship and have just qualified. My role throughout the apprenticeship was to learn many skills and acquire the knowledge needed to transition to a fully qualified radiographer. I worked on placement throughout the 3 years, which was pivotal in enabling me to become a confident and competent professional upon qualification.

The programme was relatively well structured

I have received ongoing support from my employer throughout my programme.

I received a sufficient amount of support from my training provider.

My qualification enables me to practice as a fully qualified Diagnostic Radiographer, whereby I obtain optimal diagnostic images for patients being admitted and treated. My qualification has also enabled me to learn patient-centred care, respect, and inclusivity.

Yes

Having worked at RWT for nine years, I could not imagine working elsewhere. I have mostly only ever witnessed high quality patient care. I work alongside some brilliant professionals and mult-disciplinary personnel from all areas. Following the covid pandemic, I have witnessed the hard work that the trust and radiology department have put in to ensure that waiting times for patients have been returned to an acceptable standard.
