our staff
At the Paul Strickland Scanner Centre we have a team of highly skilled radiologists and radiographers. Our radiologists have over 70 years’ combined experience in reading and reporting complex CT studies. Our experienced and caring radiographers have the specialist training and knowledge required to perform CT scanning techniques safely to the highest standard. The Centre fully supports staff through Continuous Professional Development (CPD) - the systematic updating and enhancement of skills, knowledge and competence throughout their career. This includes attendance at external study days, in-house lectures/presentations and Post Graduate Education to MSc level. All radiographers are trained in intra-venous cannulation.
