Dr Jennifer Macfarlane

Patient care is so important to us and our members and we love to celebrate those who work to develop a specific piece of work or project that benefits patients. Congratulations to John McLean for his great work in this area as he is awarded the Roy Ellis Patient Benefit Award. On winning the award John said; "I have been a clinical scientist specialising in MRI in Scotland over the last two decades. MR safety is one of the fundamental parts of the role of a clinical scientist and I’ve always felt this was more about enabling people to get scanned safely rather than not performing scans. In that respect I think we’ve shown clinical scientists can add value to imaging departments by supporting radiography and radiology colleagues to improve patient access to MRI."
