About
Overview
Gemma is an MRI specialist Diagnostic Radiographer working within the NHS. She completed her Master's in MRI at City St George's University in March 2020. This led her into holding a research assistant post at City St George's, prior to starting her PhD studies in October 2024.
Gemma's research involves exploring potential Artificial Intelligence (AI) leadership roles for Radiographers to aid safe and effective AI implementation across healthcare. She has been awarded a full studentship from the South and East Network of Social Sciences (SeNSS) to fund and support this work. Her professional and research interests include radiographer workforce development, AI in medical imaging and patient centred care. Gemma also advocates the need for clinical academics across the allied health professions (AHPs).
In 2024, Gemma won the award for 'Radiographer Best Scientific Abstract' at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR). She also won a 'We Are the City' Rising Star award in the digital category.
