This article explains how an undergraduate programme is devised and validated. Since 1993, all courses in radiography have been of graduate level with radiography education being based in higher educational institutions. Before a new degree is implemented a review of the existing programme is undertaken. The proposed degree philosophy and learning outcomes need to be determined before the content; its mode of delivery and assessment are developed. Input from stakeholders (such as clinical colleagues) is necessary as well as adherence to policies and strategies for radiography education. Throughout the development process compliance with policy, both national and local, is critical. All radiography programmes have to be validated/accredited by representatives from national organisations—such as The Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR). These representatives scrutinise the proposed degree course documentation; often they may also inspect the clinical and university facilities in which the education and training will take place. |
