I am the Programme Director for the Radiotherapy & Oncology Programme; and Senior Lecturer and Admission Lead. I am responsible for managing the quality of the programme, student experience, teaching & learning, and recruitment.
I teach across the programme with particular emphasis on science and technology, radiotherapy dosimetry and radiotherapy treatment planning.
My professional practice has afforded me a diverse range of experiences, allowing me to work in clinical, academic, and education management.
I have had the privilege of working in the Radiotherapy department in the NHS at Band 8A (Supt.). In this capacity, I have been the Senior Team Lead in Radiotherapy CT-Sim Planning, Radiotherapy-Led Image Verification, and Radiotherapy Treatment Delivery. Additionally, I held the position of Clinical Learning Facilitator (NHS Band 8A). I then moved into a University role as a Senior Lecturer, and then to an Education Manager role (NHS Band 8B) in a Breast Screening Centre. I returned to an academic role as a Senior Lecturer at St George's in 2019. In 2021, I became the Undergraduate Programme Director.
I recommend studying Radiotherapy and Oncology. The future career prospects are excellent with opportunities to advance your career at Advanced and Consultant Level Practice.
I believe in supporting all students, regardless of background or circumstance, to achieve their full potential.
