Employment History.
University Lecturer – delivering and managing the education of undergraduate and post graduate modules within the School of Healthcare Sciences at Cardiff University. A University and Clinical Lecturer across two NHS sites.
School of Healthcare Sciences, Cardiff University. (May 2005 to date).
Senior Radiographer Band 6 – Trauma/ Accident & Emergency
Morriston Hospital, Swansea NHS Trust. (July 2002 – May 2005).
Radiographer Band 5 – General Radiography
Morriston Hospital, Swansea NHS Trust. (July 2000 – July 2005).
Experience and Significant Achievements.
I’m currently registered with the Heath & Care Profession’s Council and hold 18 years of uninterrupted experience as a Diagnostic Radiographer. Registration requires me to maintain continuous professional development in order that I maintain my knowledge base pertinent to Diagnostic Radiography. The last 13 years of my career, my role has been the forefront of the delivery of clinical and academic education for both undergraduate and post graduate education as a University Lecturer at Cardiff University.
I obtained a MSc. In Radiography in 2015 with image interpretation as the core component. I consider myself as an experienced Radiographer, leader and educator. I have held the role as Senior Radiographer within a large major hospital in South Wales. It is here I began my skills of effective communication, leading by example and ensuring staff were made to feel valued. An aspect of my current role is to manage the clinical education of diagnostic radiography students at Cardiff University. The role has allowed me to further develop my own skills of leadership and supervisory management. The role is dynamic i.e. I have to plan and implement a programme of learning for each placement to ensure the student‘s aims and objectives are met while ensuring patient service delivery is not disrupted. The role requires effective communication with the staff and Radiology managers of the hospital sites.
My role at Cardiff University also requires me to deliver Post Graduate education together with the supervision of student research at Master’s level. I manage my own teaching with the delivery of image interpretation modules for both appendicular and axial skeleton for a wide range of stake holders i.e. Radiographers, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors and Emergency Nurse Practitioners. As the lectures are multi disciplinary, I have the experience and skills to adapt my teaching to the needs and styles of various learners.
Becoming a University Lecturer and President of the Society and College of Radiographers represent the two most significant personal achievements of my career to date.
The Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) is both a professional body and trade union representing 29,000 members across the whole of the UK. The office of President is attained by election of fellow members of the UK Council. The office is outward facing, raising the profile of the profession of radiography across the UK and the world. The role requires me to work closely with leaders from other professional bodies, for example the Royal College of Radiologists, (RCR) leading figures in industry as well as the Department of Health (UK government). The role has increased my leadership and governance, policy making and networking within the profession.
