Diagnostic Radiography 2016

Hi there! Going to apply for Radiography. Doing my Science Access course from September. I am applying Leeds, Bradford and Sheffield.

It's great to see you're considering Diagnostic Radiography at the University of Bradford If you have any specific queries or concerns about anything related to the course or University please feel free to get in touch. Best of luck with your Access Course; I hope you enjoy it and you achieve the grades required to get into either Bradford, Leeds or Sheffield.

in Leeds uni you have to choose 2 different hospitals. They've got 4 hospitals: Leeds teaching, Harrogate, Hull and York. The first one is going to be you main and you will get place there on you 1 and 3 year. Second one - for your 2d year.

TBH the way Bradford works in this respect may or may not be how it works where you end up, where are you hoping to go?
We were asked very early in the course if we had a preference, as Bradford uni has a higher percentage of commuting students than any other uni in Britain most people ask to go to Bradford Royal Infirmary. The hospital I am placed at requires me to be on the bus before 7am and I get home about 6:30pm so it's a long day, but I like the hospital and the people.
I'd strongly recommend that you start studying a bit of anatomy to give yourself a head start, knowing every bone in the hands, arms, feet and legs is a good start. Not just the names of the bones but the different surfaces and suchlike.
Order yourself a copy of Bones & Joints by Gunn, ISNB 978 0 7020 5399 3, it's not cheap but I've almost worn my copy out in the first year!

Do you mean four NHS Trusts rather than four hospitals? I have an offer for Leeds in September 2015 (Firm) you could end up anywhere from Harrogate, Scarborough, Ripon, Beverley, private hospitals etc in other words one or more of the many different hospitals within one or more of the NHS Trusts or even the private sector

Hello!
Can you tell me a little bit more about Entry requirements 2016. On Bradford uni page says that you accept Access to Higher Education Diploma, plus minimum of:5 GCSEs at grade C or above to include GCSE English Language and Maths or Physics. Those applying with Access courses are only required to have GCSE English Language and Maths at grade C or above (equivalencies will not be accepted).
So, I finished secondary school in different country and NARIC verified my certificate and my exams as eguivalent to GCSE in the UK. Does it mean that it is no point for me to apply to Bradford uni?

I would recommend you scan and email copies of your qualifications to our Admissions Team to assess. Once assesseгd they can confirm whether or not you would be eligible to apply. Please email [email protected] - thanks and best of luck!

Thanks, will do that

Im applying to exeter, UWE, BCU, Bangor and Derby
Thank you for the heads up I will deinfaltey start doing that if i get onto the course and i will definatley give that book a look!

Thank you very much!!!

Subscribing... I've been qualified for three years now so happy to answer any questions about the 'real world' in radiography.

I also work in CT and MRI if you have any questions about those specifically.

I'm going to Derby this September, there you're allocated a placement city for the whole 3 Years- Nottingham, Derby or Leicester and move around the hospitals there. (Thought the community placements are a bit out the way eg. Loughborough if you're on the Leicester rotation, ilkeston if youre on Nottingham). Haven't chosen a preference yet but been told they'll ask us end of August/start of September ish.

I think you have have visits to your first placement in early December and then first placement block is in January, with another one later on.

Take all of this with a grain of salt though, I haven't actually started yet!

Whats your base salary if you dont mind me asking?

I'm at the second increment of Band 6, so 27,070.

should you finish different course to do CT and MRI? i heard that for ultrasound you should do 18 months studying again

nice, how old are you?

You can learn CT and MRI in house. Postgraduate is optional. Ultrasound sticks you in the deep end as you report your own scans from day one so you need the postgraduate study first.
