Sandie Mathers
Sandie Mathers, research fellow at The Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen carries out research on imaging related topics within the Health Services Research Group. Her post is jointly funded by the University and NHS Grampian.
She feels it is important to keep contact with her clinical roots and still works regularly as a radiographer at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Initial research focussed on radiographer role development, but subsequent projects have assessed patients’ knowledge of scanning, the effectiveness of radiology patient information, informed consent, outcome measures used in radiology and the use of innovative research methods to engage children in research.
Increasingly projects have become more patient-focused in line with the patient focus public involvement research agenda. Her work has been published and presented both nationally and internationally. She is currently a member for Scotland on the UK Council of the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR). In addition she is a member of the SCoR Research Group, on the editorial board of Radiography, and the Council representative on the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists (ISRRT).
