Profile
I am a HCPC registered diagnostic radiographer specialising in cross sectional imaging. Since graduating in 2007 I have worked in a variety of hospital settings in both the public and private settings and I completed a post graduate certificate in MRI in 2014. I moved into higher education in 2016 and I have experience of teaching a wide range of subjects across several diagnostic imaging programmes. My area of research interesting is that of MRI radiographer education and I am currently under taking a Professional Doctorate in health and social care, exploring the experiences of radiographers learning MRI practice, using a construcvist grounded theory approach.
