Tell me about your journey with Alliance – where did it start, where are you now?

I first encountered Alliance Medical in 2019 - I was the programme director for undergraduate diagnostic radiography programme at City, University of London and was arranging an employability event for our undergraduate students. Alliance Medical happily agreed to deliver a presentation to a group of final year radiography students regarding job opportunities and our relationship grew from there.

How do Alliance Medical and your university work together to deliver the best experiences for graduates and support them with their career?

We collaborate on our employability every year, Alliance deliver engaging presentations to our final year students, and there have been a lot of opportunities offered by Alliance over the years - attracting interest from many of our students.

Do you believe that graduates have the opportunity to move in different directions within Alliance Medical; or gain experience in a range of areas?

Yes, I believe there are plenty of opportunities for graduates to move in different directions within Alliance Medical. One of the unique opportunities that I can immediately identify is the quality training offered on specialised modalities - particularly CT-scan and MRI. Having this set of skills is very valuable within radiography practice.

How important are graduates to the field of radiography?

Very. They play an important role as part of the national healthcare workforce in general and in particular in radiography which is a field that requires very specific training to enable one to practice it, as well as move forward in their career.
