And that's a wrap!!! Graduating class of 2024 finished their last day and ready to head on to their careers!! It's been a pleasure having them here at @LancsHospitals for the last 3 years. @SCoRMembers @CumbriaUni @SoRStudentReps @xraylth

Simple moments like these, stop all the voices in my head telling me I’m not good enough. They remind me of why I do my job! 🌻

Last week, I felt completely discouraged and doubted my future in education.

Today, we welcomed our new 1st years. After a day of induction, a couple of the students thanked me for making them feel at ease and that they were now excited to get stuck in as they felt supported!

Going through old photos, seems I’ve always been obsessed with skeletons 🤣☢️

Don't give me sympathy, I don't need it. Give someone you work with the time. Give someone you may think is having an off day the time. Be the catalyst.

@naomi_shiner @teresa_rushton @KeeleAHP @Sarah_Shaw_OT @drcstapleton @tcookot @mytweeks @DonnaHoldcroft @BigRadTom I think this would be a good tutorial 🤣🤣

Mondays don’t always have to be bad… this week I ran a theatre SIM with our third years. Ended the morning with a timed competition of setting up for lateral DHS position. Obviously had to show them how it’s done 🤣

[Sara L @xraysaral]

Really enjoyed this evening’s talk about Red Flag Pathology from the wonderful @leahfenning!! Great to see our dedicated third years come along too! Even Indiana Bones is watching along too 🤣 @BigRadTom @xraylth

Last Friday, we were at @SkillsLondon showcasing what it is like to have a career in #radiography.

From informative conversations to witnessing consultations through VR, students of all ages came by to see what radiography has to offer.

Watch our recap below ⏯️

Here is a useful resource for those wanting to learn. @MakatonCharity has plenty others too!!

[Sara L @xraysaral]

The last few weeks I’ve organised communication workshops with our students - including learning Makaton introductions.
Today, one of them came to me beaming, saying they introduced themselves in sign to someone with hearing difficulties 💛
