"Every day is different", says radiography student
Wednesday 24th February 2010
A woman training to take up a radiography job has spoken about the variety involved in her course.
Mother-of-two Janine Lovatt manages to combine her family responsibilities with her course at the University of Liverpool, This Is Cheshire reports.
The 29-year-old said: "Every day is different and you never know who's going to walk through the door next."
Part of her programme involves working at Warrington Hospital - which is run by the Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
She has lectures in Liverpool and then practices her new-found skills at the medical centre in blocks of a few weeks at a time.
Ms Lovatt noted that she has good radiographers around her to check what she is doing and to offer advice.
The time spent at the hospital is "vital", she suggested, adding that not everything can be learned from a textbook.
She went on to say that she loves what she does and knows she has chosen the right career.
