About the Clinical Imaging programme

The Clinical Imaging e-learning programme (previously known as Image Interpretation) has been developed by the College of Radiographers, in collaboration with NHS England's e-Learning for Healthcare (eLfH) programme.

It is the ideal resource to support all imaging staff including assistant practitioners, students and early career radiographers and those interested and involved in research, reporting and advanced practice. It supports radiographers working in specialised modalities and provides knowledge on how to develop interpretation skills. As well as clinical content, there are sessions focused on patient care, including imaging patients with disabilities, dementia and specific needs along with topics such as consent, clinical governance and professional development.

About the e-learning

Radiographers and sonographers use the sessions to maintain their imaging skills in radiography, CT, MRI and ultrasound and to support their CPD activities. Specialist sessions on cardiac, forensic, technology, neuro-intervention, GIGU, nuclear medicine, orthopaedics, osteoporosis and dental imaging build confidence when working in these areas. It is freely available to all health and care professionals in the NHS and can be of value to allied health professionals, nurses, medical students and doctors.
