Lots of questions there Ayesha

1. I love the word, best add that to my post it notes of words…better than the one that came up in a meeting today ‘conceptual guidance’ !!??

2. I love the variety in my role. Seeing students progress and learn things they’ve found difficult is always great. I also like to see ex-students becoming great sonographers, lecturers, managers etc.

In the clinical role, when I’m scanning no two patients are the same. I have some really interesting conversations about all sorts of things. I find pathology that I’ve never seen before, or I can make a diagnosis and tell someone what’s wrong with them, so that they get the best care & hopefully get better.

3. I first heard about radiography at school, when I was thinking about what I’d like to do. I had been visiting various health related areas and spent some time in the x-ray department. I loved it.

4. I guess I ‘d have preferred not to have had a wrist injury, but then I might not have gone into teaching. I’d also like less paperwork and more teaching and coaching time.
