I'm seriously thinking about having a total career change and training as a diagnostic radiographer via the Pg Diploma route (have a science degree albeit from many years ago). In a month or so I am going to be spending a few days in the radiography dept of a large London hospital (work experience!)
Just wondering if anyone has any experience of more "mature" (!) students on courses such as radiography?
Also looking at finances after qualification - what is the normal earnings as a qualified radiographer? I know it is a band 5 job initially but, I was wanting a feel how much a general radiographer would earn working the 24hr shift pattern with nights/weekends etc - also do radiographers normally work 12hr shifts like many nurses?
Is there much scope to progress up the bands and are hospitals keen to train their radiographers in MRI/CT etc?
Thanks is advance!!
