Radiography plays a central role in modern healthcare. It’s used every day to identify issues in the body, from bone injuries to problems with internal organs. Because these images guide clinical decisions, the profession relies on people who are properly trained and confident in both the science and the practical techniques involved.
If you’re aiming for a career in this field, an Access to Higher Education Diploma (Radiography) is a solid starting point. The course introduces you to key scientific concepts, including cell structure, atomic theory, bonding, waves, ECGs and core radiography principles. You’ll also look at how radioactivity is used in medicine and build an understanding of professionalism and effective teamwork within clinical settings.
