Description: In this powerful episode, Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara sit down with Eva Starkey who is a diagnostic radiography lecturer and specialist diagnostic radiographer.

After working clinically in Glasgow, she moved to Aberdeen to fulfil her passion for education. She still maintains a clinical role alongside an academic one, ensuring her practice is kept relevant and students are educated with the most up to date protocols.
This episode is a deep dive into Eva’s journey to becoming a radiographer, education and clinical practice.
