Guidance on Approval & Accreditation of Practice Placements at all Levels of Pre-Registration Education

This document details policy for the accreditation by the Society and College of Radiographers of a clinical department as an approved practice placement provider for pre-registration learners. It provides guidance on the approval process leading to recognition of a clinical department as an approved clinical placement in association with approved education programme(s) and education centre(s) or as an approved specialist placement provider, for example a dedicated paediatric department.

Approval will encompass the collaborative arrangements between education and placement providers and the total numbers of pre-registration learners which the site can accommodate.
