About the Course

• Numbers strictly limited. Two attendees per iMac workstation for peer interaction and learning
• Case based learning with short introductory lectures, offering guidance and practical knowledge
• Interactive discussions, what is relevant and significant, tips and take home messages that will change your interpreting practice

The Course will assist the Intensivist

• to understand how radiological investigations can best be used to assist in the management of critically ill patients (covering head and spine, chest, abdomen)
• to interpret radiological investigations performed on critically ill patients to acquire a systematic approach to image interpretation
• to understand what not to miss and why, including life threatening problems, and common errors to avoid 
• to know what investigation to ask from the Radiologists and when to ask for help!
• to understand the key guidelines and protocols
• to understand the roles, advantages, disadvantages of modalities, i.e. Plain XR, US, CT and MR

Course aim and learning outcomes

To provide the busy, ‘hands-on’ Consultant Intensivist with a practical, stimulating and comprehensive update on the best use of imaging in the assessment of the critically ill patient:

1. practical (workstation based learning);
2. stimulating (interactive, challenging, real-life cases, immediate feedback); and
3. comprehensive (head and spine, chest and abdomen).

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

1. a comprehensive understanding of good/best imaging interpretation and reporting practice in intensive care;
2. improved imaging interpretation skills;
3. greater confidence in advanced practice; and
4. identified skills and knowledge gaps, if any, relevant to his/her practice, and clear ways by which these can be addressed.
