Why study this course?

Studying this flexible Postgraduate Certificate in Bone Densitometry Reporting at Derby will:

• Increase your knowledge in the fields of fracture prevention through osteoporosis diagnosis and management
• Enable you to tailor your learning by choosing specific modules, so that you advance your knowledge in areas you’re passionate about

Knowledge in the fields of fracture management and DXA continues to expand and students require a broader evidence-base to support their practice, not just in the area of fracture management and DXA but in the additional skills required to develop and lead projects and services.

This will provide students with increased opportunities to undertake a wider variety of modules appropriate for their professional development and clinical practice.

We’ll encourage you to use a systematic approach in both your theoretical appraisal of research and your reporting of bone mineral density results. You’ll focus on patient management and develop the skills needed to work at an advanced practice level, recognising areas for change and improvement that will enhance your practice.
