    6 Tips for Aspiring Radiologists

    The first thing I would say is to enjoy the career – you have many years in this field! Working as a radiologist is a career without boundaries, which is ever-expanding, especially with the growing influence of teleradiology both in the NHS and private sector.I would heavily advise using your years to gain as much experience as you can: being a consultant radiologist is primarily about experience and this is what our clinical colleagues rely on. The expertise of a consultant radiologist is based on our wealth of experience and ability to say not only whether something is normal or abnormal, but also explain why we come to a particular conclusion. This is why I would recommend any aspiring radiologist to broaden their experience: it will serve you well in the profession.Take your time! Radiology is central to so much in modern medicine – after all, multidisciplinary team meetings in most hospitals now are run by radiologists. Take time to see the gamut of radiology specialities on offer.  Ultimately, as a radiologist and before starting your consultant career, you will be making a choice: broadly speaking, but with some inevitable overlap, radiologists might be divided into those choosing to specialise in international and non-interventional radiology but whatever path you eventually follow, do not decide too early! But CHEST IS BESTAs with any career, a role model can dramatically influence the path of one’s career. I speak from personal experience! My decision to a) become a radiologist and b) specialise in thoracic radiology was influenced by my mentor and research supervisor, Professor David Hansell. I was a senior house officer at the Royal Brompton Hospital in the early 1990s when David was at the start of his consultant career. It was my interaction with David and my subsequent research efforts which shaped my entire career. Incidentally, I now sit in the office at the Brompton vacated by Professor Hansell on his retirement! Inspirational leaders and mentors are everywhere – have the courage to go and talk. You never know where it will lead!Given the remote and often isolating working pattern for those working both in radiology units and teleradiology reporters, the significance of strong communication skills is often overlooked. Communication and rapport between radiology and clinical teams only serves to improve patient care and can facilitate greater efficiency across any radiology unit. In addition, regular engagement with colleagues, acquaintances and friends in the radiology field can ease isolation and burnout issues along the line…the radiology world is a brilliant community, so don’t be afraid to reach out to your colleagues!Alongside experience, the quickest way to learn (and ultimately become a better radiologist) is to embrace feedback. Although this may seem uncomfortable at times, constructive feedback from senior radiologists and referring clinicians is a key element for any developing radiologist. Moreover, through case review sessions one can understand different interpretations and perspectives, which can broaden your understanding.

    DMC & BIR Conference: ‘Teleradiology in the UK’

    DMC Radiology Reporting’s co-founder and clinical director, Professor Sujal Desai, discussing the importance of teleradiology conferences and the future of teleradiology in the UKDMC Radiology Reporting held their inaugural in-person educational conference on Wednesday 9th October, in partnership with the British Institute of Radiology (BIR). We were delighted to welcome an array of delegates from the radiology world, including radiologists, service managers and trainees for the one-day meeting. Partners Coreline Soft and Biotronics3D sponsored the event.

     

    Dr Rizwan Malik: 

    ‘Really enjoyable day meeting, sharing a platform with some superb speakers as I touched on the complex and often fraught relationship and history between Radiology, Radiologists and AI – and the contribution Teleradiology played in this. The CPD talks were wonderful to close the day, too.’ 

    Dr Ram Senasi:

    “It was an honour to kick off the ‘Teleradiology in the UK’ event at Goodenough college by chairing a panel session and giving a lecture on AI. A heartfelt thanks to the team for the invitation and for making this day so special.” 

    After a welcome address from our co-founders Professor Simon Padley and Professor Sujal Desai, our CEO Harry Hatzakis, and COO Pritika Gupta, the meeting began with a candid panel discussion which examined:

    • the future of teleradiology
    • the NHS’ relationship with teleradiology
    • the challenges facing remote radiologists

    The panel was chaired by the inimitable Dr Ram Senasi and consisted of various esteemed figures in radiology who provided diverse perspectives on the topics: Professor Elizabeth Loney, Dr Imran Lasker, Dr Shawn Halpin and Professors Sujal Desai and Simon Padley.The second session was expertly delivered by our Medical Director, Dr Shawn Halpin, who investigated:

    • the audit process for teleradiology
    • medico-legal advice
    • good spots and common errors

    The post-lunch discussions were centred on the hot-topic of AI, and we were fortunate to hear two thought-provoking lectures:

    • T – AI – les from the Darkside by Dr Rizwan Malik
    • AI in Radiology: The Hype, the Hope, and the Hard Truths by Dr Ram Senasi

    The final session saw four guest speakers look at ‘Clinical Hot Topics’, including:

    • Lung Cancer Screening in the UK: Key Considerations for Teleradiology by Dr Arjun Nair
    • Imaging Liver Tumours: A Guide for the Non-Specialist by Dr Praveen Peddu
    • Errors and Pitfalls in Head & Neck Radiology by Professor Elizabeth Loney
    • Trauma Imaging of the Spine and Using the AO Classification by Dr Imran Lasker

    With the education done for the day, there was still time for a post-event drinks and networking opportunity.On behalf of the team at DMC Radiology Reporting, we would like to thank everyone who put this event together: the wonderful cohort of speakers; the organisers from Goodenough College who looked after us all so well; the team from the BIR for months of hard work; Hugh Turvey, the BIR’s artist-in-residence for supplying his artwork; and our sponsors Coreline and Biotronics3D for their support.

     

    We look forward to holding similar events in the future!

Clinical Effectiveness

Clinical effectiveness means ensuring that all aspects of service delivery are designed to provide the best outcomes for patients. This is achieved by ensuring that the right care is delivered to the right person at the right time they are in need and in the correct setting.

Information

A patient’s information should always be up to date and correct on any systems used. It should also be confidential through correct storage and management of data.

Risk Management

Risk Management involves having robust systems in place to understand, monitor and minimise the risks to patients and staff and to learn from mistakes. When things go wrong in the delivery of care, our staff teams should feel safe admitting it and be able to learn and share what they have learnt, which embeds change in practice.

Patient & Public Involvement

Communication with patients and the public is essential to gain insight on the quality of care we deliver, and any possible problems that can result. Public involvement is equally as important to ensure that patient and public feedback is used to improve services into day-to-day practice for better patient outcomes.

Education & Training

This encompasses the provision of appropriate support to enable staff to be competent in doing their jobs and to develop their skills so that they are up to date. Professional development needs to continue through lifelong learning.

Staff Management

This ensures the organisation recruits highly skilled staff and aligns them with the correct job roles. Staff are supported in professional development and to gain and improve their skills.

Audit

The aim of the audit process is to ensure that clinical practice is continuously monitored and that deficiencies in relation to set standards of care are remedied. Research goes alongside audits to pioneer best practice improvements.
