Profile

I began my Radiography journey through the University of Cumbria where I gained a BSc (Hons) in Diagnostic Radiography. During that time, I trained at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust. Once qualified, I undertook a position as a Paediatric Diagnostic Radiographer at Manchester Children's Hospital where I gained experience in paediatric plain film, fluoroscopy and cross-sectional imaging. I now run the University of Leeds BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography's Clinical Skills Suite.
