Record numbers are using A&E, but the data doesn't show what it's actually like to go. Our survey is still open. Anonymous, ~15 mins, 18+, UK, for anyone who's been to A&E. Good or bad, every experience helps. edsurvey.link Shared it before? Thank you. Please help it reach further 🙏

I still need people who AREN’T autistic or ADHD for my PhD research. A national survey on what A&E is actually like, around 15 minutes, anonymous, helps improve NHS emergency care for everyone. Link in bio or edsurvey.link #NHSResearch #UKSurvey #EmergencyDepartment #AandE #UKHospitals

ASMIRT 2026 has been amazing and an awful lot to take in. 4 days, 3 talks, 3 social events, an interview and a podcast. The highlight was always going to be the people. Meeting so many new inspirational radiographers and finally meeting faces I'd only known online.

What a stunning location for #ASMIRT2026. I’m incredibly excited to listen to and connect with so many brilliant people in the radiography field. I’m presenting each day so it’ll be a busy but hugely fulfilling conference. I’m once again extremely grateful for the invitation!

Down under! 🇦🇺 Loving Melbourne so far. As a city person it genuinely feels like a home from home. A few more days of exploring before I head to Tasmania for #ASMIRT2026. Here are some videos from the trip so far!

Today was my first day in around 4 years of not taking any Elvanse and god it sucked. It felt like trying to run with a backpack full of bricks. It was just a day of waiting to go back to bed. I got nothing done and didn’t enjoy doing nothing neither.
