Interprofessional learning (IPL) is fundamental in clinical practice as a healthcare professional. Learning more about each other allows us to improve the collaboration, understanding and quality of care we give to our patients. However, IPL isn't always taught at pre-registration level...so we created a podcast, the first of its kind! With the help of students studying to be future healthcare professionals and some special guests asking questions and providing the answers we all want to know, we hope to provide a tool to support and educate on all things IPL.

    More Than Enough: Loan’s Journey to Diagnostic Radiography and Self-Discovery

    In this heartfelt episode, Loan, now a pre-reg MSc Diagnostic Radiography student, shares the remarkable journey that led her to the profession she loves. Despite completing a wealth of higher education, including a PhD, Loan spent years quietly pushing herself harder and harder, convinced she simply had to work more to keep up. It wasn’t until she received a late diagnosis of dyslexia that she finally understood why her path had felt so difficult and why it had never been a reflection of her ability. Loan opens up about the relief, validation, and renewed confidence that came with her diagnosis, and how it transformed her self-belief. She reflects on the passion that guided her to radiography, and how her experiences have shaped her into a deeply empathetic, resilient, and motivated practitioner. This episode celebrates self-discovery, personal growth, and the powerful realisation that she was more than enough all along. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
