MRI Training and Education

Undergraduate Training and Education in MRI  

The HCPC Standards of Proficiency for diagnostic radiographers have always required an understanding of the physical principles of MRI. The updated standards which came into effect in September 2023 now require undergraduates to be able to perform standard magnetic resonance imaging procedures.

Post graduate training and education in MRI

The Society of Radiographers (SoR) supports radiographers in identifying opportunities that benefit the service and service users through role development. Diversifying and expanding radiographers’ practice within clinical imaging and radiotherapy is actively encouraged. It is essential that development is underpinned by appropriate education and training to support the safe delivery of professional practice.
