There are a lot of such companies around – not very good if we can’t be confidence that the student has achieved the level of competence for themselves. Let’s hope Marya doesn’t need a mammogram from someone who has achieved their qualifications in such a way!!

Hi Jessica

Sorry for being late in responding! Lovely that you’ve joined us. I hope you’ll find it useful. Can I ask, are you a practitioner or a member of the public?

I visited this clinic yesterday for a consultation.

All staff were amazing. Kind, considerate and polite.

Especially the member of staff who operated the mammogram.

Here’s another about Conquest – Hastings. perhaps as well as your name you need to say you’re a mammographer. THere are several comments on the Patient Opinion site about mammography where the mammographer isn’t ‘titled’

Great comments, Kerry

Any clients/women/patients out there who can tell us what they think?

Watch it on iplayer later, Geraldine!

What about introducing yourself to clients online. Some of the mammographers we’ve worked with aren’t prepared to do that. Is it the same thing?

Hi Kerry, no it wasn’t my first – you’re quite right, and being a radiographer myself I knew what to expect. You sussed me out!
