      I started as a student physiologist 30 years ago and have worked my way up through the department and now manage a team of 20 people.  I spend most of my time in Echo which is where we take pictures of peoples hearts.  I love working with people and spend most of my day talking to different patients whilst I am doing their tests.

    • My Typical Day:

      On a typical day I get up at 6.15am and either walk the dog or iron my uniforms.

      I have a coffee and some cereal and then drive for 20 minutes to get to work.

      I usually see around 8 patients per day and have one or two meetings with team members or different departments in the hospital.

      I have a sandwich at lunchtime and then carry on seeing patients.  Sometimes the patients come from home and other times we go to the wards to see people who are poorly and need to stay in hospital.

      I go home at 5pm and walk the dog again before tea.

      I like to go to the gym if I have time!

    • What I'd do with the prize money:

      Book several STEM events  and order more interactive STEM equipment such as the pumping heart model and supplies for the students to have a great time with.
