She is a trained and certified MRT with an Honours Bachelor of Science Degree from St George’s University of London\, England; part of Kingston University\, UK. Jenny has over five years of hospital and private clinic Radiography Department experience\, including Accident & Emergency. She quickly achieved promotion to Band 6 (Senior UK) Radiographer and was then put in charge of paediatric imaging for all imaging modalities\, but with specific focus in Non-Accidental Trauma. Her most recent employer was the prestigious Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury\, England. While in this senior position\, Jenny was trained in Computed Tomography (CT)\, interventional procedures\, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)\, and holds a certificate in Intravenous (IV) Cannulation\, allowing her to administer contrast media along with other drugs used to facilitate scans. Having recently returned to Canada with her young family after a 20-year absence\, Jenny completed the requirements of CAMRT to transfer her UK qualifications to work as a Canadian MRT in radiography and MRI\, and she is now a member in good standing with CMRITO. \n\n\n\n\n		\n\n		\n			 \n		\n				\n			\n		\n			\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
