Course Feedback :

“I found the way things were described very easy to follow, giving me a lot more confidence in taking radiographs.”

“Will help me in practice with better positioning. I will also make more use of contrast media.”

“This course will help a lot as I work nights so sometimes need to take xrays in emergency situations with fewer staff to assist with positioning or interpreting issues whilst awaiting vets, to relay to them en route.”
