The ASA has officially launched the Sonographer Awareness Campaign across Australia and New Zealand. This national campaign shines a light on the essential role sonographers play in healthcare and raises public recognition of our profession. Too often seen as “just image-takers,” sonographers are in fact highly trained medical professionals whose work supports patients, saves lives and strengthens our health system. Sonographers make a difference every day. Watch the videos and find out more about the campaign: loom.ly/5iCsmlw #ProudToBeASonographer #SupportingSonographers

I successfully defend my thesis yesterday. Final touches on my minor corrections, then on to getting the findings out and about. Grateful to have had such positive, insightful examiners offer their time and experience 😀 @StrudwickDr

Today is my first day in a different role at UniSA, so this means there is space for any sonographers interested in exploring academic-land as part of a wonderful teaching team. I reckon part-time roles will be considered. workingatunisa.nga.net.au/cp/index.cfm?e…
