Current Projects:

I am currently setting up a project examining the effect of training on undergraduate radiography students’ image interpretation scores over the three years of their degree.

Past Projects:

My PhD studies were an exploration of factors potentially affecting the perception and interpretation of medical images used in Higher Education

Define best research/education experience:

I enjoy teaching material that is new or challenging to the students involved.  It is rewarding to see their understanding deepen over a series of lectures to the point where they can see the potential for this subject within their own practise or research.
