I love meeting new people and I've got an unrelenting need to be helpful, so nursing is the perfect profession for me.

The university is very accommodating and supportive of students, especially for those studying a degree alongside a full or part time job.

I loved how hands on the course was straight away. We were practising on phantom heads within a matter of weeks and learning practical skills.

Being on placement gives you an insight of what it is like to be working as a diagnostic radiographer and it helps you decide which speciality you want to focus on.

I chose to do my master’s at Teesside University because I was impressed with its links with industry.

I worked at the Royal Victoria Infirmary as a scrub ODP in spines, trauma, orthopaedics and neurospecialties.

The placements were invaluable and core to achieving and augmenting the theoretical aspects of the course.

In addition to gaining valuable hands-on experience, and great networking opportunities, I studied and worked with like-minded individuals who share the same goals and ambitions as me.

The staff are excellent and pushed me to do my best and they give you their unconditional support.
