The aim of this course is to develop knowledge and understanding of safe intravenous administration and apply these skills within the clinical environment. Learners will be given access to an on-line learning environment four weeks before the course start date covering theoretical aspects including: injection theory & procedure; infection control; anatomy and physiology of the upper limb; contrast agents; dealing with potential reactions. A practical session is offered on the contact day where course members can practice injection techniques on simulation units.
Final registration date is the 2nd November 2018 for the course contact day on the 23rd November 2018. For further information please contact HAS.Studydays@UWE.ac.uk.

Looking to improve your Red Dot skills? Why not come to the Sheffield X-ray Interpretation (SXI) course.
This one day course is designed to provide a basic introduction into image interpretation for Radiographers, advanced nurse practitioners, physiotherapists or any other health professionals with the need for basic skeletal image interpretation skills. This informative and interactive day will help develop your image interpretation skills.
The course looks at:

• Systematic review of the pelvis, spine, upper and lower limb.
• How technique can affect interpretation 
• Tips on radiographic technique
• Red dotting in practice

Previous Feedback 
"All very informative, good use of x-rays for diagnosis"
"The quizes to test your understanding were really good and talking through the answers helped reinforce the learning."
"Plenty of interesting and eye opening images throughout"

Anyone who reports on images or who has an interest in reporting is welcome to join us for our Special interest Reporting group in January. Our theme this time will be around communication and A.I. Our guest speaker will be Richard Evans CEO.

World leading experts in the field of cardiovascular CT from around the globe will discuss the current state of cardiovascular CT and the role it will play in 2019. Topics will include broadening clinical application, updates on technical optimization and discussion of current and future innovation and research in this rapidly evolving field.
SCCT Winter|2019: Dublin will explore all aspects of cardiovascular CT, including debates on areas of contention, with the aim of informing and educating participants on cardiovascular CT's strengths, weaknesses, and increasing clinical indications.
The objectives of this meeting are:

1. To understand current best practices in cardiovascular CT in coronary artery disease, structural and congenital heart disease, electrophysiology and heart muscle and valve disease assessment.
2. To be able to analyse whether cardiovascular CT is the most appropriate test to investigate cardiovascular pathology and be able to communicate the strengths and weaknesses of the technique compared with alternative imaging modalities.
3. To be aware of current research applications of cardiovascular CT that may impact on future clinical assessment.
