Summary
Interventional Radiology is a rapidly evolving specialty that combines simultaneous surgical treatment and cutting-edge imaging for the benefit of the patient in both urgent and elective care. The interventional radiology service consists of a multidisciplinary team of radiologists, radiographers, nurses, anaesthetists and ODPs and cardiologists or neurologists, if within a specialist cardiac or neurology centre. The demand on interventional radiology services is significantly high and over recent years has seen the development of dedicated specialist staff and even allied health professionals extending their scope of practice into performing interventional procedures to aid the radiology workforce.
This Pg Cert is a postgraduate, post-registration course for qualified and registered allied health and care professionals working within Interventional Radiology.

Upon successful completion of the course all participants will have an advanced, critical knowledge and understanding of interventional radiology procedures, imaging, patient care and relevant legislation and professional guidance. The Pg Cert will enable all participants to have an advanced level of knowledge of Interventional Radiology enhancing their evidence within the clinical domain of practice.
