I am currently working as a Senior Cross Sectional Radiographer at a site facilitating both private and NHS patients. I have worked consistently four almost ten years since graduating from University and feel as though working at both Private and NHS sites has helped me to develop at both a professional and personal level. I pride myself upon being a pro-active, friendly individual who possesses good communication skills. I am confident in my ability to work both competently and efficiently, whilst providing a high level of patient care, whether working autonomously or as part of a team and have demonstrated this throughout my time spent working within an increasingly busy department. I am regularly involved in carrying out a number of procedures within CT such as CT guided interventional procedures, Virtual Colonoscopies and Cardiac angiograms. I am also MRI competent and I have found that it is a modality that particularly interests me and one in which I wish to continue to gain experience in, particularly in Cardiac imaging. I am involved in the out of hours rota for each modality which includes weekend. I believe that since working within the NHS I have built up a wealth of experience and a varied skill set but feel that I am now ready for a fresh challenge and feel as though Nuffield Health's values of providing a service user led approach are values in which I pride myself upon and very much strive to achieve.
