  In my current role, I work mainly on the Static Unit in the Royal South Hants Hospital in Southampton, doing more complex MRI examinations on the GE Explorer such as brain tumour following ups, MRCPS, lump identification, Fistulas, Gynaecology MRI and MSK. I also help manage the units work load and contracts to maintain an efficient work flow and patient output while delivering a high quality service. There is also a bi-monthly CT mobile service which I help manage and ensure it runs smoothly. I also help out in CT (carry out exams such as sinuses, mandibles, brains, MSK, urograms, chest/abdomen/pelvis, CTPAs, etc) when needed and help teach the Radiographers how to use the new Toshiba Aquilion scanner. Previously with the same company I worked on both CT and MRI mobile sites mostly within 2 hours of my home. In MRI I have worked on GE Explorer, 360, HDX, NEMR, Siemens Avanto, Symphony and the 3T Aera scanner. In CT I have worked on GE 16 and 64 slice mobile scanners and Toshiba Aquilion CT scanners. As a Senior Radiographer, it is my role to lead the day and help teach other new members of staff how the Alliance systems work and help them as best as I can and support the mobile team. I was a lead for one of the hospital sites we visit and in charge of one the mobile Avanto scanners the company owns. I enjoyed these roles as it helped improve my management skills and made me feel more connected to the company.
