She is the Radiology lead for trauma imaging for The South East London, Kent and Medway. She has directed this course since its birth in 2017 and it has seen almost 500 attendees.

The content

  • Faculty will address issues relate to COVID-19 where relevant
  • Many cases to interpret over the two days
  • Intensive CT trauma interpretation practice, including
  • head and spine
  • whole body
  • chest
  • abdomen
  • pelvis
  • angiography/interventional
  • paediatric
  • Time and freedom to review cases at your own pace
  • Case review and discussion panel, Q&A
  • interpretation guidance, tips and common errors to avoid
  • Interactive discussions, what is relevant and significant,
  • take home messages that will change your EM practice

the aim

To provide the busy, ‘hands-on’ EM Consultant with a practical, stimulating and comprehensive update on advanced trauma imaging interpretation:

  • practical (workstation-based learning);
  • stimulating (interactive, challenging cases, immediate feedback);
  • comprehensive (head and spine, chest, abdomen, extremities).
  • Interactive discussions, what is relevant and significant,
  • take home messages that will change your EM practice

By the end of the course, the delegate will have:

  • A comprehensive understanding of good/best trauma imaging interpretation practice;
  • Improved trauma imaging interpretation skills;
  • Greater confidence in advanced practice; and the ability to know when to refer further
  • Identified skills and knowledge gaps, if any, relevant to their practice, and clear ways by which these can be addressed.

Comments from attendees of this webinar in 2021

Excellent coverage of CT scan in our Trauma patients. I feel much more confident in interpretation of CT scans.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Great coverage. Feel much more knowledgeable and confident now
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Easy and effective
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Enjoyed going through CT images on PACS and trying to figure out injuries ourselves before getting final answers. Short introductory presentation used by almost all presenters to give info about the mechanism of trauma and injury expected. Initial primary survey and then covering all the relevant areas in detail.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Better understanding of the phases of imaging which means I will be better and more detailed when requesting imaging.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Really surprised at how smoothly this worked
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
I had no problems. Everything worked without a single glitch.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Avoided the London travel. Hands-on live on PACS with the presenter. Comfortable home environment.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Improvement in the understanding and interpretation of ct in Ed.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in April 2021)
i work in major trauma centre so I am sure the tips I learnt will help me in my practice
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
There were no streaming problems and Infomed support was excellent.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in April 2021)
a subject worth exploring further, with potential positive impact on patients' care
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Feel more confident in reading c-spine images and abdominal CTs. This course will definitely help me to plan further management of patient while waiting for formal report by radiologist.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in April 2021)
I can go through the images and identify any immediate intervention required or plan the management of patient well ahead while waiting for the scans to be reported.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
I have made notes on take home points and tips and I will use them!
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Has given me a system for looking at CTs in trauma. Will allow me to look for injuries prior to CT report which may change Mx. Finally understand what the different phases are and when to request them!
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in April 2021)
Will encourage me to interpret scans myself much more and may help expedite patient care, particularly overnight when no radiologists on site
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
already engaged with own radiology team about scan protocols on basis of teaching. Reccommended to others.
EM Physician (delegate from this webinar in December 2021)
Definitely feel more confident to spot injuries while awaiting a formal report
