Emergency & Pharmacology
When things go wrong, you must know what to do. We review the contents of the "Emergency Tray," the pharmacology of drugs used in radiology (including contrast media), and the specific care required for pediatric, geriatric, and trauma patients. This is critical for the "Safety" component of your Viva.

Management & Ethics
Professionalism is as important as technique. This section explores the ethical framework of the RRBN, the radiographer's role within the healthcare team, and the management principles behind designing and running a functional radiodiagnostic department.
