Testimonials
“Therapeutic radiography gave me a great balance between a science based career and one that cares for people at a difficult time in people’s lives. It allowed me to have a positive impact on the world.”
Ben Hubbard, Radiotherapy Practice Educator, University Hospitals of North Midlands.
“I treated a gentleman many years ago when I was a student. In fact, I was a first year student when I treated him for his prostate cancer, and I still see him quite regularly in my corner shop.
“We live in the same village. Every time I see him, he’ll always go, there she is, ‘my little angel’ – every time I see him.
“It is so important that you build those bonds because these patients remember you forever.”Mercia Edwards, Therapeutic Radiographer at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
“When I started my search for how to get into therapeutic radiography, there were multiple options.
“So I could either do a two year accelerated program or I could do a three year undergraduate.
“The accelerated program, though, was down in London that I qualified for, and I wanted to stay within Midlands where I’d started to build a home for myself.
“During school, I really enjoyed my science subjects. So I chose to do physics, chemistry, geography, and economics at a level, and then I went on to do my biomedical science degree.
“Within this, there were certain modules that targeted cancer and about the therapies we used to treat it, how we recognise it within the body, and how we diagnose what type of cancer it is.
“And this is what really lit my interest. This is what I wanted to be able to treat in the future. The part I most enjoyed about the undergraduate pathway was twofold.
“It was getting into the clinical side, making an impact, finally feeling like I was a positive part of the process.
“The second is actually the building of the radiation therapy plans, the dosimetry side that I learned in university and the theory of that.
“That really lent itself to my scientific mind and how the process works.”
Ben Hubbard, Therapeutic Radiographer, Royal Stoke University Hospital.
