A mammography associate/assistant practitioner training programme is now being delivered at the Nightingale Centre Manchester, one of England’s leading breast units in one of the largest acute Trusts in the UK.
The mammography associate/assistant practitioner training is a 12-month (fulltime) programme specifically for trainees based in Wales, Scotland and Ireland who are unable to take advantage of the apprenticeship programmes being delivered in England due to funding rules.
The programme will follow the same format as the apprenticeship but will not result in a Level 4 apprenticeship certificate. A certificate of completion will be issued by the NBIA.
Mammography Associates/Assistant Practitioners
Mammography associates/assistant practitioners work within screening and symptomatic services undertaking routine two-view mammography, producing images of consistently high quality to meet rigorous standards.
