🌟When I first started out as a sonographer, I thought I’d climb the career ladder.

A leadership role, more responsibility, the next step in my career.

But after leaving Australia to work as a locum in the UK, I started experiencing a different way of working and living. And it changed how I saw things.

These days, I’m far more interested in how my work fits into my life than how far I can climb.

I’ve been reflecting on that journey in my latest Substack article, and how our ambitions can change when we discover there’s another way.

If you’ve ever questioned what you want from your career, this one might resonate with you 💕

I think I forgot just how much I needed this.

The red bottlebrush in bloom, rainbow lorikeets carrying on in the trees, kookaburras laughing in the background, and a lake with mountains beyond it.

Our little home parked up in the middle of it all.

I’ve missed this. More than I realised 💕

Tomorrow we set off on an unplanned adventure 🤗

Come along with us as we explore by expedition truck and potentially train 🚆 and then plane ✈️

This is why I never like to plan too far in advance, because you’d miss out on all this spontaneity and excitement ☺️

I have both permanent and locum sono roles I’m helping some radiology practices fill currently:

- Gold Coast, QLD
- Toowoomba, QLD
- Sunbury, VIC
- Sale, VIC

These are just a few of the more urgent roles, but there are loads more.

I’ll pop my details in the comments if you’d like more information on a role or have me help you find a better fit for your current situation.

If you’d like a glimpse into freedom living full time on the road like me, be sure to follow this page as there’s heaps to come.

If you decide you want to embark on the locum life as well, get in touch with me 🤗

For me, this sono is living her best life ✌️🫶

🌟Being a good sonographer doesn’t automatically make you a good locum.

And nobody really talks about this.

You can be an excellent sonographer, have years of experience and be brilliant at your job. But working as a locum involves a whole other set of skills that you might never have needed as an employee.

Flexibility, adaptability and confidence.

Finding your own work. Building relationships with practices. Negotiating rates. Understanding contracts. Managing your finances, travel and accommodation. Planning ahead so you’re not scrambling to find your next contract when the current one ends.

Knowing not to plan too far ahead.

Suddenly, you’re not just a sonographer. You’re running a business.

And let’s be honest, not everyone wants to do that. Not everyone has the confidence, the knowledge or even the desire to manage all those moving parts themselves.

That’s okay.

But I think it’s important to understand what you’re signing up for before jumping into locum work.

There’s a difference between being a sonographer who travels for work and being an independent locum who takes responsibility for the business side of their career.

Neither path makes you a better sonographer.

But understanding the difference can make a huge difference to your working life, your income and your independence.

I’ve spent years working as a locum, and one thing I’ve learnt is that clinical skills are only part of the equation.

The good news? You don’t have to figure out the business side on your own.

Through my online consultations with Sonographers Downunder, I can help you navigate the practicalities of locum work, build your confidence, understand your options and work towards becoming a more independent locum.

Whether you’re thinking about taking the leap or you’ve been locuming for years and want to do things differently, sometimes a conversation with someone who’s been there can make all the difference.

So, if you’ve been thinking about becoming a locum, don’t just ask yourself whether you’re a good enough sonographer. Ask yourself whether you’re ready for the business side, too.

Because that’s a skill you can learn. You just need to know where to start✌️

Sonographers are a special breed of human 😆

We can look at a screen full of grey blobs and somehow know exactly what we’re looking at.

We can hold our bladder for 6 hours, but the second we get a patient on the bed who needs to go urgently… suddenly WE need to go too.

We’ve mastered the art of holding a conversation, scanning with one hand, adjusting the machine with the other, and somehow still remembering protocol.

All whilst giving the best possible care.

We can spot a tiny abnormality on a screen that nobody else can see, but walk straight past a colleague in the supermarket because they’re not wearing their work uniform.

We can multitask better than anyone, but once we’ve clocked out for the day, we are physically and emotionally drained.

And no matter how many years we’ve been doing this, there will always be that ONE patient who asks:

“So, does it all look normal?” 👀

We love our profession with so much pride and passion, we are our own best advocates.

We are our patient’s best advocates.

Tell me you’re a sonographer without telling me you’re a sonographer. 😂👇

🌟I love sonography.

But loving a profession doesn’t mean pretending it doesn’t have problems.

We can be proud of what we do and still talk about burnout, physical injuries, unrealistic workloads and the things that need to change.

We can celebrate sonographers while acknowledging that some are struggling.

We can encourage the next generation into our profession while being honest about the realities of working in it.

These things aren’t mutually exclusive.

In fact, I think being able to have these conversations openly is part of what makes a profession stronger.

So this Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month, I’m celebrating sonography in all its complexity. The good, the challenging, the rewarding and the things we still need to work on.

Because wanting better for our profession doesn’t mean we love it any less.

It means we care enough to want it to be better 💙
