As an aspiring Diagnostic Radiographer I 've always wanted to be part of the NHS Radiographing team. By completing further reading on Radiography I have discovered a real passion for the discipline and I have secured the opportunity to shadow radiographers across several Buckinghamshire Hospital sites. I have been slowly developing caring skills for patients through these engagements and am excited with the experience as it has shown me what is involved from the inside. Currently I am completing an Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care and I am looking to apply the knowledge and skills I have gained from it during my University course and my chosen career path. During the course I have completed work experience which has enabled me to apply theory into practice and I have observed the need for continuous professional development within radiography. …show more content…
Radiography is a constantly evolving area and my interest in technology keeps me inspired to learn new methods. Patient care is the essential key to becoming a good professional and I have experience working with patients and vulnerable people. Developing professional relationships with patients and their family members are skills I have acquired as a part-time healthcare assistant during my school holidays.

I have learnt to be a caring individual and I believe that I can achieve more through hard work and effort I put in by attending school, volunteering at the Healthy Living and attending work placements. My voracious interest in science and technology has been a big influence on deciding to pursue a career in

This is specifically through my experiences with my mentor, Dr. Winyoo Chowanadisai. Throughout the spring semester, we would speak about my academic and career goals, and my mentor provided great insight to my plans. As a researcher who has many siblings in the medical field, he was able to discuss the pre-med experience with me and provide clarity on how I could explore my career options and prepare for potential applications to graduate or medical school.

Since a child I was always held responsible for attending doctor 's appointments with my parents due to their language barrier. Surprisingly, I never felt that responsibility as a burden because hospitals intrigued me. The polar emotions of safety and fear simultaneously, fascinated me.

The components of liking the hospital and material, had led me to the realization that I had a calling for the medical field.
Experiences. such as seeing my grandma go through open heart surgery helped shape what I wanted to do. Through that experience, I decided that I wanted to become a cardiologist, so I can help people.

Through my studies of human expression and its reflection of how people deal with world events in different ways, I developed sensitivity to other worldviews that continues to prove useful through my daily interactions with people of different backgrounds. I have learned that just like art, medicine involves pattern recognition and derives insight from experiences. Similarly, what I especially enjoy about being a medical assistant is interacting with patients on a daily basis and getting to be a part of their medical experiences, even if it is just by lending an ear. The experiences on my path to a career in medicine have made me want to make a real, tangible difference in the lives of those around me – a difference that leaves my patients in a better condition than they were in before I met them.
The inventor of radiology was scientist, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, and the first ever x-ray was actually of his wife's left hand on December 22, 1895.

Radiologic technologists are also known as radiographers or x-ray techs. They provide a high standard of patient care, prepare patients for examinations, and explain procedures.
Seth Stockton is a dedicated and motivated individual. After success in a sales career, Seth has chosen to expand his capabilities and pursue a degree as an ultrasound technician; this ability to adapt and grow speaks volumes about Seth’s character and his willingness to learn.

Because of this personal connection, I believe Seth brings with him a unique ability to strike a balance between professionalism and quiet compassion, an ability which is strongly needed in this field.
