Sharpen your radiography technique

This highly practical, hands-on programme is designed to help veterinary nurses strengthen their radiography skills with real-world, immediately applicable training.

Focusing on image acquisition and troubleshooting, the course gives you the knowledge and practical understanding needed to support the production of clear, diagnostic images across a range of regions.

Delivered in small teaching groups, you’ll benefit from personalised coaching, ample practice time, and expert guidance tailored to your level of experience. Whether you're looking to refresh your skills or expand your role, this course gives you everything you need to elevate your radiographic technique. To maximise practical time but still give you a great experience and real skills, we’ll be using decommissioned x ray generators and model horses.

Why attend:

  • Transform your confidence behind the X-ray plate
  • Learn from experts who know the common pitfalls
  • Master the trickiest regions with ease
  • Grow your role and professional value
  • Ideal for ambulatory practice
  • Walk away with real, ready-to-use skills

  • Registered Veterinary Nurses looking to refine and advance their radiography skills.
  • Student Veterinary Nurses wanting more hands-on practice and confidence in positioning.
  • Nurses supporting ambulatory or equine practice, where image quality must be achieved efficiently and safely.
