Teaching
My teaching interest is anatomy and histology. This includes both gross anatomy and microanatomy (tissue/cell biology) as it is essential to understand the structure of the cells before you can determine the function of the tissue they are associated with. Also, due to the integrated nature of this course I aim to help students create links between anatomy and other biomedical and social sciences to cement their understanding of their patients as a whole.I also created the new BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography. I was responsible for leading the development of this innovative, evidence-based, patient-focused degree. This programme was developed in response to a National shortage in Diagnostic Radiographers, something felt particularly acutely in this Peninsula. We have built this programme around the skills, qualities and knowledge essential for a Diagnostic Radiographer the this modern Health Care Service. The programme is grounded in best educational practice internationally and from within the Faculty and University.. I am immensely proud of this programme, and the Team of Radiographers, Academics, Clinicians and Administrators that have helped develop it.
