NHS JOBS

Above is a screen grab on of NHS jobs website, I decided that i register on the site as it will keep me up to date with any Medical Photographer jobs that become available. Although i know i wont be looking for a job until the end of my course i still thought it was a good idea to start looking now.
I have set up to receive emails of any new jobs that become available that include the word "photographer" in the title or the job post.


Since working with Alan Greenman and producing the images for the Excellence Awards 2012, i have decided that i definitely want to pursue becoming a medical photographer. I have now finished taking the portraits for the awards, however coming up i am photographing at the actual awards themselves photographing groups of people as they arrive at the venue, the awards themselves are being held at Pirelli Stadium. 


Now that the portraits have been taken alan has said to be that he will be needing images taken for the Annual Report, i have told him that i am more than happy to get involved in this. Also today Alan has said that i am more than welcome to go up to the hospital and shadow some of the other medical photographers that are currently working at Burton Queens Hospital. 


He said that if any jobs become available then i will be the first to know, he did say that he will write me a reference detailing the work experience that i have been doing there. I am aware that Alan is retiring this year, and also he told me the other day that they have been told they need to photograph 120 more patients a year and this will maybe free up a job position. All in all i am feeling very positive about the situation  at the moment. Alan writing a reference for me will ultimately stand me in a very good position when it comes to applying for medical photographer jobs at other hospitals in the UK.
