Janet High
I worked as a clinical radiotherapeutic radiographer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London for a number of years before becoming, successively, a tutor at The Middlesex, the Royal London and Hammersmith Hospitals. In the 1990s all NHS education and training was moved to HEI and I spent the last 15 years of my career at the University of Hertfordshire.
