External examiners
The College of Radiographers recognises that it can be difficult to
identify appropriately qualified individuals to act in the capacity of
external examiners. This is because there is a lack of ready
information regarding who is available and qualified to undertake the
role. Accordingly, the College of Radiographers (CoR) has established a
Register of individuals for appointment as external examiners.
The aim of the Register is to assist Higher Education Institutions
(HEIs) and other education providers to identify suitable external
examiners; and also to enable appropriately qualified individuals
wishing to undertake external examining duties to put themselves forward
for consideration.
The Register provides names of suitably qualified individuals to act as
external examiners for CoR approved and/or accredited programmes or
courses at pre-and post-registration levels. It will also provide a
source of potential examiners for doctoral level studies and programmes
undertaken by radiographers.
Education providers requiring to appoint or replace an external examiner
should complete the CoR proforma which includes reference to the course
in question and any caveats associated with the course or prior
institutions from which external examiners may not be selected.
The CoR will provide three names of people on the Register, together
with contact details. The process for selecting these individuals will
be based upon a cyclical system. This will permit less experienced
external examiners to be selected, thus avoiding continually utilising
more experienced ones without allowing for growth of new talent.
Please see the document below which discusses the process.
