  The guideline should be followed carefully for this assignment. BRCP700 Assignment Pass mark 70% Please spend time developing this throughout the Semester! Due Date Word Count 3000 As a graduate of the Bachelor of Medical Imaging, you need to meet the programme’s Graduate Profile and MRTB Competencies (next page). This assignment requires you to give evidence of your knowledge, skills, attributes and experience that verify you meet these outcomes, with consideration of the BRCP700 lecture themes. A minimum of five topics in total have to be covered in the essay which must include: • Legal, ethical, safety or quality requirements • Departmental or national policy, protocols or processes • Leadership skills All three of the topics above must be included in your essay. Some might be covered twice e.g. you might cover the HPCAA as well as QA Audit. The following are optional topics. You could choose up to two of the following: • Effective intra or interprofessional teamwork • Current or emerging practices, or technologies • Changes or issues related to the profession or health care services; can include anything raised in the media or very recently published research Critical elements to be demonstrated are: • Interlink to the Graduate Profile and MRTB Competencies e.g. [GP2, MRTB 1.1h] • Acknowledgement of relevant governing bodies, laws or policies e.g. Health Quality and Safety Commission • Use of research evidence (possibly more qualitative in nature) to underpin analysis. The methods should be described with some critical evaluation of research methods (see example). • One critical appraisal of your performance using Gibb’s Cycle of reflection. This must be a meaningful Yr 3 clinical experience. • Examples of clinical experiences and application of theory to practice Rubric 40 - 36 35-28 27-20 19-9 8-0 Professional, requirements 40% Evidence clearly and comprehensively demonstrates a valid understanding of the professional requirements and competencies that must be adhered to in your role as a practitioner.

Essay section example: Compare this to the marking guide. During placement in the Emergency Department an issue arose with an inappropriate request (GP2 & 8; MRTB 1.4c). The referring doctor only completed clinical history for traumatic injury to the pelvis, yet also requested a cervical spine. Given the need to complete imaging quickly, a Radiology Assistant (RA) was asked to return the request card for more history. In hindsight it may have been best for an MIT to do this, as the card came back simply stating the projections needed. The referrer was brisk when I again returned the card. He stated that it should have been obvious the patient had suffered a high velocity accident which justified the cervical spine. According to the Code of Safe Practice 5 (2010, S2.1a) each examination needs written justification, which I could have said, however due to the tension of the situation I believe returning the card served as sufficient reminder (MRTB 1.2c). A study published in the British Journal of Medicine, which is ranked fourth among medical journals (2016, para. 6), assessed the quality of ED referrals for abdominal, cervical spine and ankle x-rays (Serre et al, 2009, p521). The study, which spanned two years and included 9,025 patients, found a reduction in the number of abdominal x-ray referrals (but not cervical spine or ankle) after the introduction of a referral guideline. Given the large scale of this study, these findings reinforce the need for MITs to ensure referrers follow established imaging pathways. My clinical experience has also reminded me it is necessary to check for a valid doctor’s signature and that consultants may have their own imaging protocols, particularly for orthopaedics.
