Dr Leslie Robinson<br />

Diploma of the College of Radiographers; Masters Degree<br />

in Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Doctorate of Education;<br />

Fellow of the College of Radiographers.<br />

I am a retired Diagnostic Radiographer and now an artist. I<br />

still hold honorary academic contracts with the University<br />

of Swansea Medical School, for whom I am an external<br />

advisor for a professional doctorate student, and the<br />

University of Salford.<br />

My specialist interests in clinical practice were MRI and CT.<br />

As an academic I was interested in teaching and learning<br />

and gained a doctorate in education. I was also interested<br />

in researching the experiences of students, patients and<br />

practitioners and led the development of a set of patient and practitioners partnership<br />

guidelines for the UK Society of Radiographers. I have also been involved in exploring and<br />

promoting the use of social media to support patients and students.<br />

All of these experiences and interests can now be seen reflected in my artwork.<br />

I agreed to write this article as I think it’s important to share alternative views of lockdown<br />

and to encourage others to think about a life beyond lockdown and radiography.<br />

Dr Belinda van der Merwe<br />

PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) in Health Professions Education;<br />

Masters in diagnostic radiography and a tertiary education diploma.<br />

I am a senior lecturer in the radiography programme at the Central<br />

University of Technology in South Africa. I am privileged to manage<br />

the first-year radiography students and I am lecturing modules for<br />

the third and final year students. During the pandemic, with limited<br />

the face-to-face lecture time on campus, it was imperative to adopt<br />

various strategies to adequately prepare the students. Through the<br />

practice of the scholarship of teaching and learning, I have reflected<br />

on the possibilities to engage the students in the virtual<br />

environment.<br />
