Holistic Healthcare For Mammographers [Self-Care Programme Outline]

I was delighted to be invited for the second time to take a Self Care Study Day for the Mammographers at The Countess of Chester Hospital, on Thursday 2nd February 2017. It was two years previously that I had run a similar day, for the staff here at the Breast Screening Unit.

Superintendent Radiographer, Sara Millington said “ I found the training so beneficial, that I wanted members of staff who had been unable to attend last time to have the same training in order to prevent further or future MSK Problems”

So for some this was a refresher, and for others an introduction to the beginnings of a simple #SelfCare strategy, accessible to all and easy to implement into clinical practice and everyday life. We had a full day of learning. The morning session took place at Longhouse, in a conference room where we learnt the theory and principles of Alexander’s Technique. I tailor each course to the modality. My educational teaching programme, Alexander Technique For Radiographers, Level 1 is endorsed by the College of Radiographers, and supports all specialist radiology modalities.

Conference Room B, Longhouse all set up and ready to go for #SelfCare! 

Can you spot the auspicious rainbow on the photo below??  What a lovely affirmation as I came out to the car part way through the morning.  Right before we practised a Semi-Supine session.

I created my programme of #SelfCareSkills to help other Medical Imaging professionals reduce pain and injury levels, maintain earning power and ability to function well physically at work and in their private lives too.  I absolutely believe it is possible to recover from a repetitive strain injury  purely by practising #AlexanderTechnique as a daily habit.  This came about as a result of my own personal journey from being an Advanced Practitioner of Obstetric Ultrasound and experiencing a Chronic WRMSD, being told by my Rheumatologist that my injury would never heal, that ‘ at best it would stay the same’ ( not an encouraging thought!) and trying all the conventional therapies he recommended to abate my pain levels.  All to no avail.  But this led on to me experiencing an epiphany during my first #AlexanderTechnique lesson, as a personal exploration through my desperation actually!  I left my first lesson pain free, which was an amazing turn of events.  It certainly got my full attention as it had been many years since I had been completely pain free.  I had got very used to putting up with a degree of pain at all times, even while asleep!

I also believe it shouldn’t be accepted that so many radiographers become injured through the course of their working lives and that this is seen commonly as an occupational hazard.  A little bit of education goes along way to empowering radiographers to help themselves to function optimally in their chosen profession with no adverse physical effects or negative impact on their earning potential or length of chosen career.

What happens in a Study Day for Mammographers with me? I’m detailing below an outline of what we covered in Chester.  It is a typical representation of a 6 Hour Intensive Workshop.

I liked this poster within the department reminding patients to be Body Aware and Make Time For Breast Screening.

For me this could be converted for the staff to read

“Know Your Body”

‘Make Time For Self Care’

It’s truly too important to forget.

Every member of staff in the Mammography Department is equally as important as the patients they are there to serve.

Including ourselves, our whole selves, in our clinical duties in the Breast Screening environment is fundamental to Best Practice.  If you’re not functioning optimally, you can’t help your patients or serve them optimally.  So #SelfCare is your duty! Be Mindful of how you are going about your practice and make sure you’re using your mind and body as carefully as the equipment and with as much compassion and care you offer to your patients.

Here you can see a sequence of photographs that were taken with permission from the mammographers taking part in the educational training, to give you an idea of what we cover in the practical application of Alexander’s Technique in the afternoon session.

Every mammographer was able to have a turn at experiencing AT hands-on.  We mock up scenarios and have staff members playing the role of ‘patient’ while the ‘mammographer’ is paying close attention to their personal habits during clinical practice and then, with my hands-on guidance,  being able to experience a different and more natural way of moving around the patient, equipment etc.  How you move your body, is of the upmost importance.  How you approach a distressed patient also impacts on the physical self, so we learn ways of minimising negative reactions, or responses that are less than helpful for the health of our future self.

The focus of the practical session was on greeting patients, positioning them and even how we press the exposure button without undue tension. We also got an opportunity to look at Breast Ultrasound too, and a very willing patient allowed me to be in the room with the Breast Physician who’d been experiencing shoulder pain.  While the doctor was scanning, I was able to assist her with differing ways of standing, setting up the Ultrasound machine more to her personal dimensions and easier ways of holding the transducer which alleviated her discomfort.  Hurray!

We also looked at setting up image reporting stations, sitting and standing and changed things to support the practitioner more fully. Simple but effective strategies that help the Breast Care staff look after their own health whilst they help the health of their patients too.  Win-Win-Win.  Everybody benefits, the staff, the patients and the NHS. It truly is a wise investment.  Morale gets a boost and the community of Breast Centre staff can continue to help each other long after the end of the Educational Training Day.

We practise constructive rest as part of the training, which enables participants to experience the value of this simple nurturing practice as part of their ongoing wellness programme.

It’s such a positive forward thinking policy to ensure that the team are aware of methods that can improve health and wellbeing, simply and easily.  It’s also incredibly cost effective for the NHS to protect their investment in these highly qualified, skilled, specialist mammographers and assistant practitioners and Breast Care Consultants too who enable so much in the management of patients’ health care.  It’s vital to also look after the healthcare of the healthcare workers!  I’m always delighted when a department makes it a priority. We may have to start being creative in the ways we go about funding this, for example if budgets are squeezed, is there a different avenue you could look at to raise the money?  Sometimes departments have used charity money for the health of their staff.  It improves morale no end too and when the staff are valued, supported and cared for in this way, it creates a harmonious environment whereby everyone supports each other and manages to thrive professionally and personally too. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful idea to also include this in the mandatory training of sonographers, radiographers, mammographers and other imaging staff to ensure that from the start individuals are aware of how they can best perform their clinical duties?  The investment in the staff training would then be protected from the start……something to consider if you are involved in the Higher Education programmes for imaging staff  in the Graduate and Post Graduate specialist training.

So what did the participants think of this training?  Here are some comments I received as part of the feedback.  Printed here with permission.

“The session has illustrated lots of very simple things I can do to alleviate / help rectify an RSI”                                                                                                     Breast Physician – Dr Sara Bundred

“Very helpful, a good balance of presentation and activity to re-inforce a completely new approach” Consultant Breast Radiographer  -Judith Kelly

“Thank you Angela, the day was informative and I have enjoyed it”     Mammographer, Vanessa Pryer

“I didn’t realise my posture was wrong until it was pointed out.  It has helped me to concentrate on myself as well as the patient.”  Mammographer, Radiotherapist Gill Owen

“Angela was excellent.” Anon

Please do get in touch with me if you’d like to discuss a similar event in your department.  It’s also a good idea to refresh the knowledge annually if possible to retain the benefit of the training. I’d love to help!

Until next time, be well!

Going to try and keep this short. I’m struggling to find the words.

3 years, 10 months and 6 days ago, on 15 September 2012, I first tweeted about Kate Granger. I shared an article from The Scotsman, Dr Kate Granger, doctor and author living with terminal cancer I’d kept it open on my laptop for a couple of weeks, trying to find the best time to read it. My Dad, Bobby J, was terminally ill and clearly coming towards the end of his life. He died exactly two months to the day that I shared that tweet. Throughout Dad’s illness I’d tried to blog, to keep a record, to encourage discussion about death and dying, something of a niche blogging topic at the time.

It was in one of the early twitter exchanges that I had with her, and Quigs, that Kate shared her hope to make a difference:

Sonographers learning Alexander Technique

The pleasure was all mine on Friday 4th March 2016 when I was invited in to The Royal Bolton Hospital Maternity Unit to teach members of the sonography team the beginnings of a simple #SelfCare strategy, accessible to all and easy to implement into clinical practice and everyday life. We had a full afternoon learning Alexander Technique For Radiographers, Level 1. My educational teaching programme supports all specialist radiology modalities.

Arriving to 3″ snow! What happened to Spring?

I created this programme of #SelfCareSkills to help other Medical Imaging professionals reduce pain and injury levels, maintain earning power and ability to function well physically at work and in their private lives too.  I absolutely believe it is possible to recover from a repetitive strain injury purely by practising #AlexanderTechnique as a daily habit.  This came about as a result of my own personal journey from being an Advanced Practitioner of Obstetric Ultrasound and experiencing a Chronic WRMSD, being told by my Rheumatologist that my injury would never heal, that ‘ at best it would stay the same’ ( not an encouraging thought!) and trying all the conventional therapies he recommended to abate my pain levels, to going on to experience an epiphany during my first #AlexanderTechnique lesson, as a personal exploration through my desperation actually!  I left my first lesson pain free, which was an amazing turn of events.  It certainly got my full attention as it had been many years since I had been completely pain free.  I had got very used to putting up with a degree of pain at all times, even while asleep!

What happens in a Study Day with me?

Good to go!  A presentation given first with my helpful assistant ‘Alex’.

Here you can see a sequence of photographs that were taken with permission from the sonographers taking part in the educational training.  We practise constructive rest as part of the training, which enables participants to experience the value of this simple nurturing practice as part of their ongoing wellness programme.  After the theory comes the practical in the scan room, whereby everyone gets a chance to look at their seated scan posture, standing scan posture, moving around a patient, holding a transducer, setting up the monitor and more.  This gives an idea of the detail we go into. It’s effective to learn in a group too as you can see other people’s posture improving and can then go on to help your colleagues maintain the learning and embed the positive changes we discovered during the afternoon.

It’s such a positive forward thinking policy to ensure that the team are aware of methods that can improve health and wellbeing, simply and easily.  It’s also incredibly cost effective for the NHS to protect their investment in these highly qualified, skilled, specialist sonographers who enable so much in the management of patients’ health care.  It’s vital to also look after the healthcare of the healthcare workers!  I’m always delighted when a department makes it a priority.  It improves morale no end too and when the staff are valued, supported and cared for in this way, it creates a harmonious environment whereby everyone supports each other and manages to thrive professionally and personally too.

Excellent presentation.  Very calm and effective teaching style.  Very useful afternoon.                                                                                                     Sonographer

Enjoyable afternoon, excellent presentation and practical session.       Sonographer

Very engaging.  Good opportunity to focus on this area of practice.  Lead Sonographer

Second time on the course, even more useful and enlightening than the first time. Sonographer

Really enjoyed this training as I have bad posture and was amazed at how having the correct posture reduces the tension and ache in many parts of the body. Thank you! Booking Clerk

Mindful Mammography @ The Breast Care Centre, Glenfield Hospital

I was delighted to have been invited by Amanda Gibby, Breast Imaging General Manager at The Breast Care Centre, Glenfield Hospital to lead TWO Study Days in Self Care Skills ( based of the principles of the Alexander Technique), this week.  It’s wonderful to see proactive leaders working to help their staff reduce the risk of RSI.  Physical issues, pain and injury are significantly affecting large numbers of mammographers and Health Care Practitioners working in this Medical Imaging modality.

I am in my element teaching Medical Imaging professionals as it’s my own professional background prior to retraining as a teacher of Alexander Technique.  I created an educational training programme in Self Care Skills specifically to help my health care colleagues.  Mammography is a demanding role, requiring much of the practitioners.  There are many factors involved and many reasons why a Mammographer might succumb to injury in the course of their clinical duties.

This is where I can really help – my own personal experience of working as a radiographer ( and rotating through the mammography suite whilst at St Thomas’ Hospital), and sonographer, succumbing to a WRMSD in 2007, resigning my post due to this injury ,and then going on to take the three year, 1600 hour training to become an Alexander Technique teacher.  This allows me a complete understanding of the issues faced, and how we might go about changing behaviour to eradicate the incidence of injury. My own personal healing journey informs the way I teach and gives hope to those currently suffering. I am passionate in my belief that it is absolutely possible for a radiographer, mammographer or sonographer to be able to expect to have a full time career in their chosen modality without succumbing to a physical injury caused by their working practice.  It’s all a question of educating and training staff HOW to improve their own coordination, posture and movement patterns and habits.

Did you ever realise it was possible to improve your personal coordination? Probably not –  I didn’t before my Alexander training.

Did you ever think you could improve your posture easily with very little effort?  No?  Neither did I!

Did you ever believe it possible to improve with age?  No?!  I used to think that too.

This is some of the material we cover in my Self Care Skills Study Days.  In this introductory 6 hour practical session :  Alexander Technique for Medical Imaging Professionals – Level 1, we take a look at the common factors influencing our behaviour, posture and movement habits.

The Willow Room, small but perfectly formed!

Lecture Theatre Stage Right!

 

Lecture Theatre Stage Left!

 

 

We were fortunate to have the morning theory sessions in quiet rooms, ideal for the business of starting to think about yourself in a new way, with more awareness and then starting to become more conscious of your own personal postural and movement habits.

Wonderful Large Projection Of My Self Care Skills Presentation!

The presentation I deliver in the morning is light hearted and interactive, to me the best way to learn is when you’re enjoying yourself!

There is also a reward!

Preparing for a cosy Constructive Rest experience in the Lecture Theatre!

I like to include a semi-supine experience for the participants as this is something everyone can do for themselves at home, and after you’ve experienced this, you really understand the benefit.  It’s a very accessible nurturing practice which offers a therapeutic effect on many levels to the whole self.  Calming down the nervous system, restoring skeletal alignment, much needed down time amongst many other dividends. You’ll have to try it for yourself to find out what they might be!

We also refine our anatomical awareness and make it personal in this theory section.

After lunch we begin the process of specialist application of this knowledge to the clinical practice.  This is the ‘gold’! Where pennies drop, as to just what has been going on unnoticed for far too long while we’ve been busy looking after other people and putting their needs before our own.

Just what goes on in the Mammo Room? Beginning our practical session

Hands-on work conveying important information – everyone gets a turn!

A whole new way of moving around the machine, the patient and more!

Golden Rule #1 is never to be #2!  Remember to think about yourself first, this can be a very tall order indeed particularly when we’re so used to looking after others! It’s time to be kind ( to ourselves) – that way we get to serve MANY more patients, with greater ease, energy and efficiency.  Who doesn’t want that to be featuring in their working day plus having energy to spare for a fully active private life?  Yes please!!

The great thing about learning in a group is that it creates a supportive community amongst colleagues.  Everyone can then help their friends and colleagues if they happen to have lapsed back into an unhelpful bodily habit ! You don’t mind so much if someone pats you on the shoulder for example, if you’ve taken part in a practical session whereby an important observation was made –  one person’s habit was to lift the shoulders unnecessarily, but they were completely unaware of this before!  Habits die hard, so if we can all help each other, knowing this is for the greater good i.e aim of full physical health, this is taken rather better than if someone ‘tells you off ‘ or barks at you to ‘stand up straight’!  Light friendly compassionate communication and with humour is more conducive for positive change in behaviour.

On that note, can I help you in your department?  Get in touch with me here if you’d like to find out more!  Hope to work with you sometime soon!

Milton Keyne’s University Hospital Invest In Their Sonographers Self Care

Yesterday I had a fun and rewarding afternoon teaching sonographers at Milton Keyne’s University Hospital a short version of my #SelfCareSkills programme!  The Superintendent Sonographer of the Out Patient’s Department here, invited me along during an audit afternoon to deliver this educational training so that her staff can retain their optimal health and wellbeing.  Like many sonographers globally, the staff here have been experiencing aches and pains during and after their clinical working practice.  Sometimes these aches and pains are more serious.  In my own case, what I considered to be a ‘sore shoulder’ that I was hoping would magically go away sometime, actually turned out to be a Work Related Musculo-Skeletal Disorder of my right upper limb that was also significantly affecting my entire cervical spine and the nerves to my right arm.  Don’t underestimate aches and pains.  They are red flags – your body is trying to communicate to you that something is amiss.  If you ignore the signs, the dysfunction gets worse and may lead to something more serious. I was fortunate not to have damaged any nerves permanently.  I was also fortunate that my right shoulder stopped me from continuing my path of self harm.  Inadvertently, over many years, my own patterns of postural and movement habits contributed to my WRMSD.  I unconsciously caused my own injury, and was completely unaware of this!

It was a wonderful turn of events that I discovered Alexander Technique and enabled myself to heal naturally.  My shoulder quickly healed.  My neck too.  My right arm is no longer swollen or blue.  My fingers are no longer numb or tingly.  I am now in better shape than I was as a teenager, hurray!  An unexpected bonus that I never expected!

It’s always a pleasure for me to pass on all that I’ve learned to fellow sonographers.  So the afternoon was most enjoyable for me, helping other medical imaging colleagues discover how to pay attention to themselves and their own postural and movement habits so that they don’t inadvertently cause themselves an injury or physical harm unnecessarily.

Sonographers At Milton Keynes Hospital gathering for our #SelfCareSkills training afternoon.

Feeling right ‘at home’ teaching in an X-ray room!

We covered a large amount of information in the first part of the session.  Refreshing our anatomical knowledge and making it personal is always very interesting and enlightening!  This enables us to accurately body map and create more fluid movement and action any time we choose to think about it.  We learned what we do when we stand, how we stand, how we sit and how to constructively rest too.  Semi-supine is an excellent daily habit to acquire if you’re interested in attending to your own personal health and wellbeing.

Semi-Supine
A wonderfully gentle, nurturing practice for relieving unnecessary physical tension and restoring natural alignment

Following the semi-supine session, we got into the theory of applying Alexander Technique principles to the activity of Ultrasound scanning.  It’s more challenging to think about your own self whilst busy doing something, but absolutely possible!  We learned how to start giving ourselves undivided attention and how to start applying that in the clinical role.

The best is saved until last, practice in the actual Ultrasound room!  This is something that can’t be rushed.  We have to get used to paying attention to our whole selves constructively before we get to the crux of the matter.

We mocked up scenarios similar to those we would encounter on a daily basis.  The whole group got to observe sonographers displaying personal habits they have while scanning patients. Very interesting to see what actually happens to your posture, spinal alignment, breathing etc when in front of a monitor, next to a patient!  Then what happens when we pick up a transducer.

I left the sonographers with much food for thought as the afternoon came to a close.  The great thing about my #SelfCareSkills programme is that the learning continues to deliver over time, long after the training session has ended.

So what did the sonographers think of this afternoon?  Here are some of the comments I received.

Thanks for coming!    Superintendent Sonographer

10/10 Excellent   Reporting Sonographer

Enjoyable, thank you.  More time in the Scan Room would have been good. Sonographer

10/10 Thank you, I shall be using lots of your tips in my day to day activities.  Sonographer

Practical session most useful.   Sonographer

It was very useful and helpful to improve my Technique as a sonographer.

10/10 Another practical session would be great.  sonographer

Lovely to read the feedback after the event!  It warms my heart to hear how beneficial the training days are.  If you can arrange a WHOLE day, it’s a huge advantage as the individuals get more hands-on experience and time in the practical part of the training at the machines.  As you can see from my feedback here following the Half Day at Milton Keynes, that’s what the sonographers want more of.

But whatever you can offer your staff is great, it’s often a balancing act between the workload, the time, the department diary and budget.  Do get in touch with me here if you’d like to arrange some training for your own staff in Self Care!  Hope to work with you soon!

Self Care Skills For Sonographers in Kettering

Huge thanks to Teresa Lardner, Lead Sonographer @ Kettering General Hospital, for inviting me to take a Self Care Skills Study Day for her sonographers last Saturday, 7th November 2015.  Of course this is where I am in my element, teaching fellow sonographers all that I’ve learned along the way during my own healing journey which has enabled me to move from a debilitating WRMSD of my right shoulder (which caused me to resign my post as Advanced Practitioner of Obstetric Ultrasound in 2007) to 100% wellness, my rheumatologist was not expecting that!  In fact he told me it would never heal.  How glad I am that he was wrong!

My decision to take the three year, 1600 hour, training to become a fully qualified teacher of the Alexander Technique came about as a result of the profound therapeutic effect this educational method had on my repetitive strain injury. This was apparent to me at my first lesson.  And now it’s my absolute pleasure to pass on the principles of the Alexander Technique and specifically help Imaging professionals apply them into the clinical role and all that comes with it.  My own medical professional background as a radiographer and sonographer is incredibly helpful in this regard, as I understand very well from my personal experience of working in the Medical Imaging sector, the many aspects of the role that are challenging.  It’s imperative that the health and wellbeing of sonographers is taken seriously.  It’s time to start making necessary changes in the best clinical practice to make this a top priority for all.  Particularly as the profession is short now.  Even more important therefore to look after the staff we have in place so that they can continue scanning patients to full capacity, retain their personal earning power and partake in a fully active private and social life also.  Here’s a blog post I wrote about this with more detail on the scary stats in case you’re not familiar #SOS .

We got off to an early 8.30am start so that everyone could enjoy the many Bonfire parties planned for this Saturday evening.

Ultrasound Rocks!
The Rockingham Wing, Kettering General Hospital

My assistant ‘Alex’ scrubbed up well!

The Resource Room in the Fetal Medicine Unit was the perfect size for the presentation part of the six hour Study Day.

‘Alex’ ready for the anatomy refresher

Chairs patiently waiting for the 12 lucky sonos who were treated to this educational training!

During the morning session we refreshed our personal anatomical knowledge, refined our body mapping skills and learned the importance of The Primary Control, F.M.Alexander’s unique discovery. This is where Medical Imaging professionals have a huge advantage, their professional expertise and training really comes into its own here.  The detailed knowledge of the skeletal support system, the abdominal organs, the nervous system, circulatory system and advanced cross sectional and visual skills from the many years of observing and treating patients, scanning them and reading and reporting results are a significant benefit when we start applying this sort of detailed conscious awareness to our own personal postural and movement habits.

We learned how to Self Care simply, by experiencing semi-supine.  This can be used as a daily helpful practice that gently restores natural alignment in the spine.

A wonderfully gentle, nurturing practice for relieving unnecessary physical tension and restoring natural alignment

Following this blissful constructive rest, we then moved on to address more advanced application of Alexander principles into the working practices specific to sonographers.  Setting yourself up optimally in relation to the Ultrasound machine, console, monitor, transducer.  Addressing difficult situations with patients, colleagues and more.  This was still in the classroom setting.

After lunch we were fortunate to have access to an Ultrasound room so that we could mock up real life scenarios and begin to see what happens to us in a more real life clinical setting!  Interesting!!!

Hands-on experience at the Ultrasound machine, refining our awareness further.

Standing to scan, hands-on experience, applying AT principles.

The afternoon session is always a rich learning experience for all the participants.  The observers get to see changes in their colleague’s posture during the hands-on experience and process takes place, which enhances their own personal awareness too.  Often what we think we are doing is not what we are actually doing! Everyone had a chance to experience hands-on specific to the area of Ultrasound they were working in.  We covered abdominal scannning, obstetric scanning, gynaecological examinations, vascular ultasound, neonatal hips and how we might improve our interaction with patients, tables, beds, consoles, monitors etc.

Here are some of the comments I received from the participants.

Without doubt an excellent and extremely interesting and valuable day, hope to see you again very soon.  Thank you                  Teresa Lardner – Lead Sonographer

It was a great course, right amount of knowledge delivered in a very professional manner.  Good teaching skills, very useful and educational.  Good speed, very interactive, everyone was involved.  I am sure it will help reduce RSI issues.  If it occurs , it will be managed well.  I wish you all the best, keep up your great work!        Dr Iqbal  – Consultant Obstetrician

10/10 It was very useful to see my colleagues get their positioning corrected, it reinforced the message.

10/10 individual support am and pm very useful.  The practice directly related to working in the scan room was really useful.  Thank you!            Bridget Queally – Trainee Sonographer

Really enjoyed the day, very interesting to discover your bad habits.  Joy Ellingworth – Sonographer

Thank you, great session!                                       Andrea Moore – sonographer

10/10 A great way to learn, thank you!                    Sarah Duggleby – sonographer

Good combination of theory and practice                Emily Humphrey – sonographer

10/10 Definitely worth it!  We need to be much more self aware.   Nicki Peacock – vascular sonographer

Music to my ears to read testimonials like that!  So can I help you too?  Get in touch with me here to arrange a Study Day for your Imaging staff!  Hope to work with you too soon!

Best Wishes
