I am a HCPC registered Diagnostic Radiographer, sonographer, researcher and an experienced academic with a wealth of experience in all aspects of academia including operational, management and leadership. I have led diverse multiprofessional teams in both the university and clinical practice.

My previous roles within the university include course leader, assessment lead, subject group leader for radiography, paramedics and operating department practice and professional lead for diagnostic imaging. I was also the previous Allied Health Professions (AHP) lead for new models of education and apprenticeships.

I completed my Doctorate in Professional Issues in 2017 and my post doctoral work has focused on workforce and workforce transformation. I undertake ethics and Doctoral application reviews for the university and am a PhD supervisor. I am gaining experience in research grant applications and am part of two NIHR project teams. I lead the South Yorkshire AHP Council Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and Innovation group and have been invited to speak at national events and conferences.

I am currently on a part time secondment as the Lead Radiographer for the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Imaging Network working closely with the AHP Council, AHP Faculty, NHS England workforce, training and education team and also the diagnostic team and Cancer Alliance. I also support the Therapeutic Radiography workforce group, nuclear medicine group and medical physics groups. I have established an ultrasound training academy and secured funding for a significant number of practice educators in this role to support education and training of the future workforce.

Regionally, I am part of the leadership team of the North East and Yorkshire (NEY) Reporting Radiographer group, NEY ultrasound deep dive group, Medical Physics group and the NEY workforce leads group.

Nationally, I am a member of the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) support workforce expert group, SCoR Imaging Managers group, Secretary to the SCoR Qualitative Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Specialist Interest Group and registered with, and contributed to, the SCoR professional guidance for medico-legal expert witnesses. I am Deputy Chair for the Sonography apprenticeship trailblazer group, Editorial board member and previous Associate Editor for British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS) journal and peer reviewer for the journals Ultrasound and Radiography.

I was Invited by the SCoR to write a case study for the joint Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme, Antenatal Results and Choices and the maternity transformation programme vision document for obstetric ultrasound and am an academic case study in the SCoR Education and Career Framework.

I have also undertaken management and Leadership training as well as large scale change training.
