This module is designed for radiographers to develop a comprehensive, experiential knowledge-based framework in plain radiograph musculoskeletal examinations. There will be emphasis on relating theory to practice in the clinical setting in order to contribute to patient diagnosis and management. It further develops communication skills to assist in the communication of findings or further investigations clearly to specialist and non-specialist audiences. There is further development of knowledge gained in the co-requisite modules within the image interpretation pathway. This is facilitated by monitoring, reflection and self-audit and through a range of blended learning activities. The student is expected to research and undertake activities within the clinical environment to supplement their radiographic knowledge. 

Delivery of this module will be by university staff and clinical specialists and will incorporate blended learning which aims to combine e-learning opportunities and traditional campus-based learning in innovative ways to enhance the student learning experience.
