CT Colonography (CTC) is a relatively new technique
to examine the large bowel. Research has demonstrated that
it is a potential rival to existing bowel imaging techniques.
There is much pressure on radiology departments to introduce
these procedures, but currently there is little agreement
on what constitutes best practice in terms of performing the
procedure and interpreting the results. This course provides
radiographers and radiologists with the opportunity to engage
in peer discussion and to explore best practice in the performing
and interpreting of the CTC
examination.

An exciting module aimed at radiographers and
speech and language therapists involved in the assessment
of swallowing disorders
Are you a radiographer or speech and language
therapist who is already involved in the radiological assessment
of swallowing disorders, or who wishes to develop your role
in videofluoroscopy and/or barium swallow investigation?
If so, this 30 credit Masters Level module offered
by the School of Health Care Professions at the University
of Salford may be what you are looking for.
The module lasts 1 semester (approx 5 months),
and explores evidence based practice in videofluoroscopy and
conventional swallowing studies.
It is open to both radiographers and speech
and language therapists, and is delivered by an experienced
inter-disciplinary team including radiologists, radiographers,
speech therapists, clinical physiologists and other health
professionals. Assessment is by a clinical portfolio of evidence
which is tailored to the individual learning needs of the
practitioner.
Students attend academic blocks as shown below,
and have clinical training if necessary in their base hospital.
The dates of attendance for the next intake are :
Tuesday 4th – Friday 7th September 2007
Tuesday 6th – Friday 9th November 2007
Tuesday 8th – Wednesday 9th January 2008
The module may be studied alone or may be combined
with other optional modules on the MSc Professional Development
or MSc Advanced Practice (Gastrointestinal Imaging) programmes
to offer the opportunity for practitioners to gain a Postgraduate
Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma or Master of Science degree.
Learning Outcomes
Demonstrate competence in the procedural management
of standard and modified barium swallows and/or videofluroscopy
for a range of clinical signs and symptoms
Discuss and apply to the practice situation
an in-depth understanding of the anatomy, physiology and patho-physiology
of the upper GI Tract (mouth, pharynx and oesophagus)
Critically review and demonstrate an advanced
understanding of pathology, its associated clinical signs
and symptoms, the radiological appearances, and tailor them
accordingly
Critically review and appraise the clinical
and radiological findings of the investigation, and communicate
this effectively within an agreed proforma report
Critically appraise the suitability of alternative
diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for a range of pathologies
and clinical signs and take responsibility for referral to
alternative investigations where appropriate (liaising with
consultant radiologists)
Develop and implement inter-disciplinary clinical
audit to ensure the continuing effectiveness of the practitioner-led
swallowing service
Assessment
You will present a clinical portfolio of evidence
which is tailored to the individual practitioner’s requirements.
This portfolio includes a reflective log of 30 cases (minimum),
as well as a range of evidence to demonstrate the learning
outcomes have been met. The student will need the support
of their service manager and a clinical mentor to complete
the clinical training requirements.
