All Radiographers with more than 1 year post-graduate experience contribute to the training and mentorship of undergraduate students, and the department has an excellent on-site teaching environment. The department is fully committed to role extension and has practicing Radiographers undertaking Ultrasound, Barium Swallows, CT Colonoscopies, and plain film reporting.
