BillyShears Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Speaking to my Radiographer friends (and I use that term lightly), there is more of a shortage of Ultrasound Sonographers than Radiographers. Problem is you have to qualify as a Radiographer first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted October 15, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2011 "Mature student" is (like "military intelligence") a contradiction in terms. Seriously though, I have a friend who's a recently qualified radiographer. If you'd like me to put you in touch with him, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Previous thread i said how i wasnt liking job, so got me thinking about going back to uni to do something i might enjoy. Was thinking Radiography...course funded by nhs so no fees, sounds intresting and I have the grades to get on course. Sure with nhs cuts course wont be funded for to much longer either. Anyone gone back as a mature student?? Id be 27 by time i get on course, have no major bills, so money only a minor issue. If all goes well I'll be graduating at the age of 27, and that's without ever having held down a full-time job other than serving my military conscription.

donnie Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 UPDATE: Had a 2 day experience at Dudley road hospital in the radiography department and absolutely loved it! can see it can be stressful, but seems much more stimulating then working in an office...still concerned if my chances of employment after graduation will be challenging if 30 year's old by time i finish so thats only concern i need to research further before enrolling.

Thank you mate...How old is your friend as a recently qualified radiographer then?? Just concerend with age after graduating, cause no matter how much its tried to be glossed over, in other sectors no way is a 30 year old going to get a grad job over a 22 year old...however not sure if its the same for the healthcare sector??
