- stimulating (interactive, challenging, real-life cases, immediate feedback); and
- comprehensive (head and spine, chest and abdomen).
By the end of the course, the delegate will have:
- a comprehensive understanding of good/best imaging interpretation and reporting practice in intensive care;
- improved imaging interpretation skills;
