Subgroup 1: Final Report, 2004 Ð 2005
Initial Radiography Education & Training
Harmonisation and quality assurance together with the development of a European dimension in radiography education
The exact nature of the European educational provision for the entry into the radiographic profession is not widely known. Many countries have introduced an undergraduate BSc programme some being honours level others not. This network set out to explore the nature of that provision.
Aim: To explore the nature of provision of radiography education across Europe
Objectives:
1. Explore and identify the nature of radiographic education across Europe
within and out with the HE sector.
2. Identify the learning outcomes of radiographic programmes of study at Bachelor level.
3. Develop a peer review system for radiography education
4. Facilitate interaction and integration for the Eastern and Central European region.
5. Review quality assurance mechanism and benchmarks for radiographic
Education and to disseminate such information

Subgroup 2: Final Report, 2004 Ð 05
Teaching, Learning & Assessment Methods in Radiography Education
The development of learning and teaching methods used in Radiographic Education, particularly context/problem based learning (C/PBL) and e-learning opportunities
Learning and teaching in radiography education involves a number of different strategies and these vary across the EU. In years 1 and 2 of the HENRE network, it was established that both C/PBL and e-learning were not widely undertaken in all establishments where radiography education was undertaken and that the approaches were very different from one EU country to another. Many countries in Europe are only just moving towards radiography education being undertaken within the Higher Education sector and the concept of the use of the learning outcomes approach is not well developed except for a handful of countries. The subgroup 2 have therefore been approaching learning outcomes through their introduction into the development of re useable learning objects (RLOs) and the discussions arising from their introduction.
Aim: To explore the nature of learning and teaching methods.
Objectives:
Explore further the learning and teaching methods so as to develop mutual understanding of the terminology used in radiography education using the Tuning methodology
Develop the website to include e-Learning and Context /Problem Based Learning (C/PBL) in radiographic education
Explore the extent to which e-learning opportunities are used within radiography education, including if applicable the chosen Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
Develop examples of Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs)
Look at the extent of pedagogic research in radiography

Paediatrics and Radiation Protection
A collection of Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) developed by members of HENRE Sub Group 3. These are samples of the ways in which RLOs can be developed and consist of different ways of presenting them to ensure student interaction.

Subgroup 3:
Final Report, 2004 Ð 2005
Continuing Professional Development
It is widely accepted that all professionals should maintain, update and improve their knowledge and skills through the process of continuous professional development (CPD). This may involve a range of learning activities Ð formal and informal. Anecdotally, many radiographers have difficulty in accessing CPD opportunities, although these difficulties vary according to a range of factors, not the least of which are the perceptions of the individual practitioner concerning viable learning opportunities.
Aim: To determine what, if any, CPD provision might usefully be put in place to support the development of radiographers across Europe
Objectives:
To identify the subject matter most radiographers consider important for CPD purposes
To consider how much time radiographers would be willing to commit to CPD activities
To consider radiographersÕ preferred format for learning materials
