Members can also read about Diagnostic Radiographer Charlotte May, who was inspired to move into hospice care, and now serves as quality lead across two hospice sites in the South West. This month’s Synergy also looks at the SoR’s Leadership Mentoring Scheme, and the perspectives and experiences of a recent graduate from it.

The Society of Radiographers recently exhibited at Birmingham’s Big Bang science fair, a celebration of all things science for children between 10 and 13. Attendees got the chance to play anatomy games, view a popular virtual reality demonstration, and take a radiography quiz.

Elsewhere, Diagnostic Radiographer and lecturer Donna Collins shares her experience of a life-changing accident that forced her out of clinical practice, and two years on from becoming the UK’s second-ever consultant radiographer in nuclear medicine, Rose Hazell-Evans returns to Synergy to discuss the specialty and how her role has changed.

Readers can also find out about students at the University of Cumbria, who got a unique chance to explore how imaging is used outside the hospital setting with the ‘Uncovering Roman Carlisle’ project.
