Miss Caitlin McLarty

I am a lecturer in Diagnostic Radiography within the Institute of Health and Social Care at LSBU. I joined this team early 2022 after a clinical career at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, where I worked as a senior band 7 rotational radiographer and spent a lot of time working in CT, IR and the Evelina Children's Hospital.

I am pleased to be back at LSBU, where I graduated from in 2016. I teach across the Diagnostic Radiography BSc programme and the Interventional Radiography PG Certificate. I was proud to be part of a team who won the "Diagnostic Radiography Course of the Year" 2022 from Radiology Awards. 

I am interested in many areas of diagnostic radiography, including advances in imaging technique in CT scanning and radiation science, especially the teaching of this. I try to inbuild a social-constructivist approach into my sessions, as I believe this is the best way to learn.

I am one of the academic leads for the Allied Health Professionals Race and Allyship Cultural Equity Collective (RACEC). I promote work in decolonising the curriculum in Diagnostic Radiography.

Current research projects:

1. An investigation into the recent admissions processes in undergraduate healthcare courses at a BSc level worldwide: a scoping review. This is currently ongoing and is being written as a collaborative piece with Kate Goffi. 

Practice Placement Lead. 

Simulation Lead.

Race and Allyship Cultural Equity Collective academic co-lead.

Decolonising lead for Diagnostic Radiography. 

Module lead for:

TRD_4_011 Introduction to Radiation Science

TRD_5_012 Medical Imaging of Pathology and Disease Processes

TRD_7_007 Interventional Radiology Imaging & Equipment.

Further teaching on: Integumentary and neuroanatomy, CT imaging and application, both across the Diagnostic Radiography programme and the Therapeutic Radiography programme.
