City St George’s radiographer recognised with Fellowship of the College of Radiographers

Dr Marcus Jackson, Associate Professor and Divisional Lead (Diagnostic & Therapeutic Radiography) at City St George’s, University of London, has been awarded a Fellowship of the College of Radiographers.

The honorary title recognises those who have made a significant contribution to the radiographic professions. It is the highest honour given by the College, and only four are given out a year, with one traditionally reserved for the outgoing president of the Society of Radiographers.

Dr Jackson is a highly respected academic leader and diagnostic radiographer with almost four decades of contribution to higher education, clinical practice, and professional governance.

Alongside his leadership role as Divisional Lead within the School of Health & Medical Sciences at City St George’s, Dr Jackson has made a major contribution to the radiography profession nationally through his work as Chair of the College of Radiographers Board of Trustees. In this role, he has helped strengthen governance, support strategic development, and champion equality, diversity and patient representation across the profession. His leadership has also supported the effective stewardship of the College’s charitable and educational activities.

Dr Jackson has also been a strong advocate for student experience and social justice throughout his career. As Associate Dean for Student Experience, he led initiatives to improve student engagement, wellbeing and educational quality across the institution, helping to foster more inclusive learning environments and enhance student satisfaction.

This award recognises Dr Jackson’s sustained contribution to leadership, education and the wider radiography profession, as well as his positive impact on students, colleagues and the broader healthcare and higher education sectors.

Speaking about the award, Dr Jackson said:

“I have been proud to promote and advocate for the radiography profession since qualifying at Middlesex Hospital in 1986. To receive a Fellowship of the College of Radiographers is both deeply humbling and a real highlight of my career. I have been fortunate to give back to a profession that has given me so much, and I see this recognition not only as a personal honour but as a reflection of the incredible colleagues, students and practitioners I have worked alongside throughout my career.”

Professor Natalie Armstrong, Dean of the School of Health & Medical Sciences, said:

"Many congratulations to Marcus on being awarded a Fellowship of the College of Radiographers. It is an exceptional honour and a testament to his outstanding contributions to the Radiography profession.”

Dr Jackson will be presented with the award in July 2026, along with fellow City St George’s colleague Dr Christina Malamateniou.
