This module has been designed specifically for professionals working in Nuclear Medicine however the communication skills explored here are highly relevant across Radiology and other imaging specialties, where similar challenges and dynamics often arise. Whether you are a technologist, radiographer, student, or clinical leader, it aims to build your confidence in managing the complex, and sometimes emotionally charged, conversations that are part of everyday practice. In Nuclear Medicine, communication is not just a “soft skill” — it is a core component of safe, effective, and compassionate care. The fast-paced, high-pressure, and often uncertain nature of the specialty means that conversations with patients, colleagues, or trainees can quickly become challenging. This module will help you understand not only what is said in these moments, but also why people respond the way they do and how you can communicate with greater clarity, empathy, and professionalism. Through a blend of theory, practical examples, reflection, and scenario-based learning, you will gain tools to approach conversations more thoughtfully and constructively.

At NWEITA, we've developed a series of educational videos tailored specifically for sonographers, radiographers, and other healthcare professionals working across various imaging modalities. We recognise that traditional training often provides limited exposure to clinical medicine, leaving many to rely on self-directed study using standard medical texts. Our video series is designed to bridge that gap. Taking a systems-based approach, we aim to strengthen clinical understanding and connect medical knowledge with imaging practice. This growing collection of resources will continue to expand, supporting you in building confidence and clinical insight in your day-to-day work.

This course has been created by the North West England Imaging Training Academy and is aimed at colleagues in radiology to develop your understanding of what the differences are between leadership and management and how the two elements are related. Other topics will be added over time and these will be announced when they are available.
