Great birthday present yesterday from the @The_HCPC.
After 3 years studying, seeing my name on the HCPC as a qualified diagnostic radiographer feels all too surreal.

Here’s to the next chapter 💙

Well that is the end of my 4 week placement in the Philippines.
Such an amazing opportunity to learn about healthcare in a different country and see how it differs from ours.

Lots of exploring too 💙

That two weeks completed in the Western Visayas State University Medical Centre.

Finished the week by going to ICU and the neonatal ICU, where I observed a baby under intubation prior to their XR.

Now time to enjoy the group trip to El Nido, Palawan 🇵🇭

Worked in the CT department last couple of days. Was interesting to see the differences between the UK and Philippines

Crystal white beaches and swimming with whale sharks all in Day 1 💙

Met my care pathway assignment patient today for the first time. It’s amazing how strong and positive people can be when going though such hard times 🥺

Good first day at my new placement at BRI. Saw some interesting cases in the cath lab…. Could I be an IR radiographer 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

@KayHackett3 thought you’d like the pic 😂

[Joshua Atkinson @JoshuaDAtkinson]

Throughly enjoyed both weeks learning new things and meeting new people.
Have been asked to volunteer more often which is nice 🥰

New friend this week…. Bonny 🐴

[Joshua Atkinson @JoshuaDAtkinson]

First day on locality placement at my local RDA (Riding for Disabled) and already made a new friend…. This is domino 🐴
Was great to meet some new people including one girl who frequently comes to the department due to having Ehlers-Danlos Syndrone

[Joshua Atkinson @JoshuaDAtkinson]

I had that this week but with my markers. Luckily the porter found them and brought them back 😅

[Joshua Atkinson @JoshuaDAtkinson]

Great week on placement this week on mobiles and theatre! Urology and Ortho cases #studentradiographer #raddiary
