Hafsa Tareq Momoniat<br />

Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Imaging (Medical Image<br />

Reporting); Bachelor of Science with Honours Diagnostic<br />

Radiography<br />

I am the Clinical Tutor at the Radiology department,<br />

Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI), which is a part of the<br />

Division of Imaging at the Manchester University Hospitals<br />

NHS Foundation Trust. MRI is a large teaching hospital<br />

situated in the city of Manchester.<br />

After my maternity leave ended, I returned to work full-time.<br />

I spend 1.5 days a week working clinically in the plain x-ray<br />

department. I spend half a day reporting musculoskeletal plain X-rays, and the remaining 3<br />

days managing students and focusing on the department’s Continued Professional<br />

Development activity.<br />

I wanted to contribute to this e-<strong>book</strong> to provide my personal perspective on the pandemic. I<br />

was pregnant when the pandemic began. Life at home was very different to life as a<br />

Radiographer on the frontline. We have often forgotten the struggles of the individuals who<br />

were moved away from the frontline and those who are isolating. I have recently become the<br />

Health and Wellbeing Champion for my work area, and I aim to deliver on new wellbeing<br />

initiatives. My children remain at the center of my world.<br />

Sciences in Radiography<br />

I have been a diagnostic radiography educator since 2013<br />

and have worked at three different universities within<br />

South Africa, during this time. I am currently employed at<br />

the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. I am<br />

involved in undergraduate teaching and postgraduate<br />

supervision for both Masters and Doctorate candidates in<br />

Radiography. To me being an educator is such a fulfilling<br />

role and I am constantly learning from those around me. I<br />

am passionate about radiography education and I consider<br />

myself an advocate for patient centered caring. Based on<br />

this, my doctoral research study focused on understanding<br />

the concept of caring from the perspective of students<br />

with the aim of providing them with the support needed<br />

to cope in the clinical environment. The outcome was a new theory in the form of a model<br />
