Many radiographers chose their careers to improve and save lives by catching diseases and injuries through diagnostic imaging. When conditions are caught in time, the patient has a better chance of recovering from their illness or injury with proper treatment. Other reasons people choose to pursue a career as a radiographer are the demand for diagnostic imaging/radiographers, room for professional growth, and the combined interests of physics, biology, and technology. The interviewers want to hear what inspired and motivated you to pursue this career to determine if you will be a good fit for the NHS team.

"I chose to pursue this career after watching my older sister become a radiographer. When I was younger, I knew I wanted to work in healthcare since my entire family does in some capacity. I was unsure if I wanted to attend medical school or pursue another career path. After helping my sister study while getting her radiography degree, I decided to pursue the same path because I find diagnostic imaging tools and technology exciting."
