  • Good range of topics, both general and subspeciality. Excellent cases.
  • Range of topic, good selection of cases, excellent speakers.
  • Content, excellent cases; interactive and very good delivery via Webex.

What impact will this event have on your future practice and professional development?
  • More confidence in reporting HPB cases and improved reporting accuracy
  • Would be very useful in day-to-day imaging as it will improve my HPB reporting.
  • This course has opened my mind to other odd and simple but odd looking pathologies. I will keep those in mind while I practice.
  • High impact, it has boosted my confidence in general HPB reporting
  • Sure it would add more depth and skills when reporting hepatobiliary cases
  • I have a list of things for further reading to help me in my daily practice.
  • I will use knowledge gained from this course in my daily practice as a general radiologist in a DGH.
  • Made me a better generalist. I will be clearer in my reports, better able to refer and more willing to ‘have a go’ at a difficult case.
  • I have gained a better understanding and good interpretation of imaging
  • This will definitely help my HPB reporting as I already feel more confident in reporting HPB MRIs and post operative cases.
  • Very useful to update HPB radiology skills.

The course was an excellent course which covered every aspect of HPB radiology. It is highly recommended. There was an excellent selection of cases and the speakers were outstanding.

There were additional sessions that included more specific areas such as paediatrics, nuclear medicine, postoperative liver or rare cases that were engaging and equally interesting.
