Will Woods :
Diagnostic Radiography
Why did you choose to study at QMU , and what attracted you to the course ?
Having worked in a hospital in Melbourne , Australia , I had colleagues who had studied this course and recommended Queen Margaret University due to the variety of placement sites and experiences available . I spent three years watching radiographers in a range of modalities , working to help the public , and felt strongly that this was the job for me .
What did you enjoy most about your course ?
The range of ages within the student cohort gave a diverse mixture of life experience and academic ability , which helped with group work and learning .
How did your lecturers support your learning ?
I had a great deal of support from specific members of staff . Upon arriving at the University , knowing I was dyslexic , I put myself forward for further educational assessment in this regard . Based on my experience in school and my previous degree , I knew that I needed extra time in exams to get what was in my head out and onto the paper . I was assessed by an educational psychologist , organised by the University , and was subsequently offered a wealth of learning support facilities as well as extra time in exams . On top of this , particular Radiography lecturers went out of their way to help not only me but the entire year group in understanding course content ; this extended to additional meetings and practical time with them to really get to grips with areas of concern . Course lecturers , past and present , made my experience a very positive one and allowed me to flourish .

Did you take part in a placement as part of your course ?
I have been on multiple placements in different hospitals , experiencing General X-ray , CT , MRI , Nuclear Medicine , Ultrasound , Theatre and Interventional Radiography . The wealth of knowledge you can receive from radiographers spread across different placement sites is fantastic . My best experience has been at the Borders General Hospital , which is where I work now . The team at the BGH consistently and comprehensively gave me the time to grow , and the clinical skills to enable me to do my job effectively . They treated me as a colleague throughout my time there as a student , and therefore when I was looking to apply for positions , I knew that it was the place I wanted to work .”
