Yeah! It's really cool and there's lots of modalities.

Or gateway or something? I was under the impression there was something available for those who chose the wrong a-levels.

What are you looking to get into?


Tbh it's different to what most people want to do after studying Science, can you advance with Radiography like up the career ladder?

There is, not much, mainly up in Scotland lol :tongue: it's tricky, lol I'll find out my fate after A Levels and I hope to get into Natural Science or Biomed

You can become senior/consultant/superintendent radiographers. There's also post-grad speciality options like sonography or you might know it as ultrasound. Or you could be a reporting radiographer.

Scotland hate UK access courses too. What a-levels are you doing?

I do English Lit, Media (hate it don't know why I picked it :frown:) and English Language so very essay based.

Nice pay too? :wink: Ah so would you do radiography for most of your career or can you move onto another hospital based job?

It would be radiography for my career. Some people go down graduate medicine/dentistry routes and that is an option.

Band 5 I think we start on. Same as the nurses.

An interview and a reject in the same day. Didn't want to go to Bradford anyway really. But they offered me a place on clinical technology whatever the hell that is.


:frown: :console:

Good luck man! Rooting for you!

Merci Merci xx
Good luck with all those interviews! Don't forget to check up on current radiography news. The SoR website is a good place to start.

(And yes we start at the bottom of band 5 which is just shy of 22k atm).
