In this episode Alice and Rebekah chat about all things academic writing and radiography assignments. We discuss different ways of approaching the task, how to stay engaged, how to overcome common barriers and concerns, how to ‘action’ the advice given by lecturers, share some of your top tips, and try to answer some of your questions.

As part of this episode we make reference to SSHINE - the Staff & Student Healthcare Initiative for Neurodiversity & Equity.
