Profile

I trained as a sonographer 3 years after qualifying as a radiographer and worked as a sonographer in clinical practice for many years. In 2006, after successfully achieving my MHSc in Medical Ultrasound, I was recruited to an ultrasound lecturer post at the University of Leeds. Since this appointment, I have been a module leader for numerous modules and the programme leader for the various iterations of the programme from the original Medical Ultrasound programme to the Diagnostic Imaging (Medical Ultrasound) programme. In addition, I devised the first BSc Medical Ultrasound (Sonography) programme to be approved by the Consortium for the Accreditation of Sonographic Education (CASE).

I am currently employed as a Healthcare Professions lecturer within Leeds Institute of Medical Education (LIME) and teach on a variety of programmes.
