When stroke strikes, it's important to act fast. In the October episode of RadPod, CT Team Lead Fran Langenberg takes host Steve Lacey inside the world of the Mobile Stroke Unit - a specialised stroke ambulance equipped with a CT scanner.
Scanning a patient on the street is a world away from working in a hospital or clinic. From managing scatter radiation to handling distressed family members and curious onlookers, Fran shares what it's really like to be a radiographer on the road.
For listeners interested in becoming a mobile stroke radiographer themselves, this episode offers insight into the skills and traits needed to work in this fast-paced, high-adrenaline environment.
RadPod is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and a range of other podcast streaming services. It is also CPD endorsed - endorsement number: ASMIRT – 003861.
