Episode 172: Part of the Leadership Series (Part 29)
Description: In this powerful episode, Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara sit down with Eva Starkey who is a diagnostic radiography lecturer and specialist diagnostic radiographer. She was attracted to diagnostic radiography from a very young age due to being on the other side of the scanner as a patient. She was born with developmental dysplasia of the hip, and so attended the imaging department from birth until her most recent surgery last year. After working clinically in Glasgow, she moved to Aberdeen to fulfil her passion for education. She still maintains a clinical role alongside an academic one, ensuring her practice is kept relevant and students are educated with the most up to date protocols.
This episode is a deep dive into Eva’s journey to becoming a radiographer, education and clinical practice.
CPD Reflection Points:
- read about developmental dysplasia of the hip and check out Steps charity.
- reflect on Eva’s experience while growing up and during her training.
- consider how you could help inspire the next generation of radiographers.
