Alex is a career echocardiographer, beginning in adult echo and now working in fetal and paediatric echocardiography performing both TOE and TTE exams. She works across all four pillars of professional echocardiography practice - clinical, educational, research and leadership. She is reasonably new to a career in research. She began by collating and measuring echo data for publication, progressing to managing the departmental commercial research echocardiograms and physiologist-led research. She has been both a contributing author and first-authored peer-reviewed and non-peer reviewed publications. She is actively looking at ways in which echocardiographers can be involved in research and gain mentorship and a network to pursue a career or a career interest in research. Her interests primarily lie in bringing research more to the forefront of echocardiographers careers for career progression and reinvigoration and for developing strategies to do this; increasing inclusion, such that echocardiographers are empowered and have the ‘tool kit’ to enable them to publish their high-quality work in some format, across all level centres, from a case study to first-authoring a peer-reviewed paper. <br/>
