NHS

Over the summer break an opportunity was offered to me from Chris to do some work with the NHS and the Queens Hospital in Burton.

I had heard bits about this for a while and figured all experience is good, so I took up the opportunity figuring it could lead to better things.

Today it did just that.

After photographing at the NHS annual public meeting on the 14th September, arrangements had been made to visit the photography department at the hospital to gain a deeper insight into the role of a medical photographer. Looking at the sort of photographs they take, how they are stored and how they can be used to diagnose medical problems.

During the visit I presented a selection of photographs that I took during the annual meeting. I was grateful to receive positive feedback while being informed that the images I took could be used for publication.

Following on from this a further opportunity has come up to photograph a number of portraits around different departments within the hospital. These photographs will then be used on posters and displayed on big screens during the awards night held in February 2012.
