Hutchinson Lecture

Abstract

41 years ago, I stepped into radiography under the immense stewardship of one of radiography's gurus Ms. Sybil Stockley. Since that time, Radiography has taken me across 5 continents and had an immeasurable influence on my family and me and we are eternally grateful. For a very large part of that journey, I have been involved in research to the point where through observations of incredible individuals and personal experience I have identified 6 maxims I feel are important to make change: change that is not necessarily measured by numbers of publications, invited book chapters or Facebook posts, but instead by the effect we have on people. This is not a blueprint for everyone; but rather a rambling through anecdotes culminating in conclusions that were important to me and maybe of some value to others.
