They hold a BSc in Biochemistry (2017, University of Worcester) and a BSc in Diagnostic Radiography (2024, UWE). Their role includes research internships, grant-funded projects, and collaborative research across disciplines such as radiography, biochemistry, and healthcare policy.
Sam’s research focuses on healthcare professional experiences, neurodivergent workplace inclusion in radiography, clinical conversation techniques, and expanding the scope of radiographer roles. Notable projects include a systematic review on physical activity advice for MSK patients, a study on autistic/neurodivergent radiographers’ experiences, and contributions to AI in healthcare initiatives.
Awards include the Northams Prize (2017) for their biochemistry dissertation on stress. Upcoming presentations include abstracts on clinical conversation and neurodivergence at UKIO 2025. Sam currently works at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust and has consulted on projects like physical health monitoring tools and radiologic service change implementations.
Grants secured include funding from the College of Radiographers Industry Partnership Scheme. Their expertise spans diagnostic radiography techniques, radiography physics, and clinical biochemistry applications in cancer and stress research.
