Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Medical Imaging Team
With increasing student numbers within the CG92 course, it was identified that if Magnetic Resonance Imaging was considered an assessable modality in the Holistic Assessment in Other Procedure Area, this would provide more clinical placement site availabilities, hence supporting student success.
Investigate the addition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) modality in the Holistic Assessment in Other Procedure Area.
