After popular demand, the Acute CT Head Course is back with interactive online access to cases post course
Booking: https://radiologyseminars.co.uk
Course overview
This interactive course is designed to take you through a robust way of tackling the head CT scan which you can immediately apply in your clinical work. We will cover the essential anatomy to interpret the images, but any prior reading will augment your learning.
The focus of the teaching is to go through a large volume of scans and build your knowledge bank of normal and the various acute pathologies. We will teach the various ways of distinguishing the different types of abnormalities in a methodical way which can often mimic other pathologies.
Booking: https://radiologyseminars.co.uk - Limited spaces, the last course was fully booked many weeks in advance.
Course Programme
Registration, Introduction, CT technique, Anatomy, Our Approach, Ischaemic stroke, Intracranial haemorrhage, Subarachnoid haemorrhage and vascular, Trauma, Hydrocephalus and masses, Infection, Post surgical, extracranial, miscellaneous cases.

This generic training course delivered by a highly experienced team will aim to equip radiographers with a complete understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of the acquisition of Cardiac CT. This training will be delivered to candidates through a series of lectures, small group seminars and practical sessions. The overall outcome will be to provide candidates, with little to no experience, with the knowledge base and practical skills to competently perform Cardiac CT. Cost: £600 including seminars, practical learning and a copy of the ‘Oxford Specialist Handbook in Cardiology Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.’ For further information including a course programme please use the included contact details.

Come and join us for an update on an important topic - MRI Safety. Our star speaker Dr Frank Shellock will be presenting an MR safety based webinair followed by a live Q & A session. But that's not all, we also have some excellent speakers from the world of MR including Denise Newsom on signing off implants, the BAMRR safety contact Cath Mills on new implants as well as talks about SAR, MR safety expert development, neuro stimulators and gadolinium retention. All this for only £50 and we even provide lunch!

The 1st Scottish CT Virtual Colonography Academy - Radiographer Day

Tuesday 24th March 2020
Venue: Edinburgh Training and Conference Centre, 16 St Mary's Street, Edinburgh EH1 1SU

We would like to invite you to a one day workshop aimed at Radiographers, with an interest in Cross section and G.I imaging. The course will provide key background principles and tips on the practice of CT Virtual Colonography via two lectures and 11-15 specifically selected CT Colon cases. With past experience at delivering these courses to Radiographer colleagues in Northern Ireland, Liverpool and Derby, with excellent feedback, Dr Eason utilises his experience as senior Faculty on National and International CT Colonography training Academies and many thousands of CTC reads to methodically pass on experience of scan technique and acquisition, tricks and pitfalls and demonstrate real CTC case pathology.

The course offers Radiographers a chance to get to grips with scan analysis and using the workstations in a friendly and open environment. The course will cover a range of routine and more complex CTC findings and will challenge the novice and the experienced CTC / barium Radiographer alike but with the goal of all delegates leaving with a enriched understanding of the role of CTC within their own department. Topics covered will include, traditional and newer trends of colorectal cancer and polyp disease, anatomy, tagging and bowel preparation, polyp description and statistical size significance as well as, what makes a good CTC scan. These topics will be discussed in lectures and reinforced in the hands-on cases using dedicated workstations. There will be no more than three delegates to one workstation and each case review will be walked through by Dr Eason and his team via a projected workstation.

Back by popular demand, we are once again running the highly regarded Torbay Hospital Image Interpretation Study Day. It is a multi-disciplinary day, also open to minor injury nurses and specialist physiotherapists covering the appendicular skeleton, divided into six areas.  A short lecture on each area is followed by a computer based exercise and a small group discussion with a radiologist or reporting radiographer, all in a relaxed and low pressure environment, and set in our superb education centre.
The course is fast paced, great fun and has always had brilliant feedback. Please get in touch for our information pack.

Following on from the highly successful 2018 & 2019 study days, you are now cordially invited to attend the 12th annual meeting of the National CT Head Reporting Radiographers Specialist Interest Group (SIG) at Birmingham City University (BCU) on Saturday 25th April 2020. 
The event is open to ANY interested imaging professional and is free to attend, so why not register as a delegate and come along and listen to educational and enthralling case-presentations delivered by specialist practitioners and SOR professional officers in the mutually supportive and relaxed environment within the outstanding lecture facilities offered by BCU?  An excellent opportunity to network with peers from around the UK, it also represents a superb CPD opportunity (have I mentioned that it’s completely FREE?).
To register as a delegate, please e-mail the course organiser Gary Holdsworth at g.holdsworth@ntlworld.com giving your full name and current place of work (to be used for registration purposes & that all important attendance certificate).
Really looking forward to hearing from you, and hopefully meeting lots of new faces in April.
