Course director

Dr Justin Kirk-Bayley

Dr Justin Kirk-Bayley

Justin Kirk-Bayley is a Consultant Intensivist & Anaesthetist in Guildford with a significant interest in critical care imaging. His area of expertise is in point of care ultrasound. He runs an ultrasound training fellowship that also teaches general imaging with radiologists, and believes that understanding imaging, and also what constitutes the best image to acquire, is the key to optimal critical care management.

About

  • Case based learning with short introductory lectures, offering guidance and practical knowledge
  • Lecture on 'Introduction to CT' (Following delegate feedback)

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

the aim and 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:

  • practical (case-based learning);
  • 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 their advanced practice; and
  • (4) identified skills and knowledge gaps, if any, relevant to their practice, and clear ways by which these can be addressed.

  • Introduction to CT
  • Acute Non-Traumatic CT Head
  • Trauma CT Head
  • C-Spine
  • CT Chest
  • Supine CXR [compared to CT, US]
