Referring for Radiological Procedures (Physiotherapists)

The Professional Certificate in physiotherapist referral for radiological procedures provides CORU registered physiotherapists with the requisite knowledge, skill, and competence to refer for radiological procedures safely and effectively in accordance with legal and professional regulatory frameworks and standards. Facilitating appropriately trained physiotherapists to refer people for radiological procedures will result in fewer steps in the care of patients who require diagnostics, improve patient experiences and optimise the expansion of healthcare service provision.

This is a 10 ECTS* credit, level 9 NFQ** award which involves both theoretical and practical instruction followed by competency assessment. The programme is delivered using blended learning over a single trimester with start dates in September, January and May. The programme is delivered primarily by lecturers from the UCD School of Medicine in collaboration with national experts in referral.
