05 / TEACHING
I believe that radiography education should connect the classroom directly to clinical practice. My teaching draws on my years as a practising radiographer and on my research, so that students learn not only how to perform an examination but why each decision matters for image quality and patient safety. I use active and technology-enhanced learning, including e-portfolios and simulation-based training, to build reflective and independent learners. I also pay attention to student wellbeing and to the social accountability of the profession, preparing graduates who are competent, compassionate, and ready to take on extended roles in a changing healthcare system.
