Could you describe your role and its responsibilities?
Currently, I work as a Mobile MRI Radiographer in the Southeast Region. To provide some context, MRI is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to create detailed images of the body's anatomy and physiological processes. As a Mobile Radiographer, my role involves conducting highly detailed scans, ensuring the well-being of the patients throughout the procedure, and prioritising their best interests. Typically, Mobile Radiographers are assigned to work in different hospitals, specifically within Southeast England.
Looking back, what was your background before joining Vista Health?
Prior to joining the team, I worked as a cross-sectional Radiographer (MRI, CT-scan, General Radiography) in the Philippines for seven years. I also progressed in my career as an MRI Supervisor for one year before relocating to the UK.
Who or what inspired you to pursue your current career?
Inspiration comes from my daily encounters within the healthcare profession. Firstly, my family served as my primary inspiration and support in obtaining this profession. Secondly, my patients, who require our services, motivate me to provide the best standard of care and deliver high-quality work to support their healthcare journey.
How would you describe your team in three words?
Dedicated, patient, and trustworthy.
What are your top three favourite films?
I thoroughly enjoy watching action movies, especially those featuring Gerard Butler. The Fallen Series, including "Olympus Has Fallen," "London Has Fallen," and "Angel Has Fallen," are my current top three favourites. Watching movies allows me to shift my mood and momentarily forget about work.
What is your favourite quote?
"Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not." - Oprah Winfrey
This quote resonates with me in my work because we deal with the lives of others, which may not be connected to us directly but are precious to someone else. It serves as a constant reminder, to be honest, and guides me in my day-to-day scenarios as a healthcare provider.
