I am an experienced Clinical Lead Diagnostic
Radiographer working within a small team at a regional
static PET/CT unit in Preston, North West England. We
undertake a wide variety of scans, the majority being
Oncology referrals, but also many patients attend with
suspected infection, inflammatory conditions together
with a growing number of dementia patients undergoing
Brain Imaging.
I wanted to contribute to the eBook to share and provide
an insight of my personal experiences and fears as a patient throughout my own COVID-19
journey. I found the actual documenting of my thoughts and emotions quite cathartic.
I qualified as a Diagnostic Radiographer in 1987 and completed my Radionuclide Imaging
Diploma in 1992 before moving to PET/CT in 2012. I am a member of the UK Society and
College of Radiographers.

I qualified as a diagnostic radiographer in 1985 before obtaining my
master’s degree in medical ethics and law from the University of
Liverpool. After a period of clinical practice in both the UK and USA I
moved into education and am now a senior lecturer at UWE
(University of the West of England-Bristol). My doctoral studies
focused upon ethical decision making within disciplinary teams and I have a keen interest in
all ethical issues in healthcare especially those related to transplantation and the impact of
new technologies. I am also heavily involved with research governance and am chair of my
faculty’s research ethics committee along with being appointed as Chair of the Central Bristol
NHS Research ethics committee. I am also a specialist advisor to the Care Quality Commission
