Edge Hill University Medical School
The Radiology Academy @ Edge Hill Medical School (EHUMS) has a well-established IMac lab, that is currently undergoing some expansion. Additionally, we are also investing in imaging software which will provide a cloud-based simulation environment for development of reporting skills and this is expected to be installed ready for use in the autumn. This will provide opportunity for all those engaging in radiology reporting to develop/enhance such skills in a safe, supportive environment, out with the traditional hospital setting. The Radiology Academy @ EHUMS is working closely with NWSOR and the satellite centres to test the facilities with the aim of them becoming operational for teaching in November 2022.
As well as providing additional training capacity for radiologists, the Radiology Academy @ Edge Hill University Medical School will provide opportunity for clinical professional development courses for the wider imaging workforce. Early professional development courses identified as priorities to be delivered in year 1 across these sites are chest X-ray and MSK updates for reporting radiographers, early identification of lung cancer (Cancer & Diagnostics Priority), nasogastric tube location, paediatrics and ultrasound imaging for medics to cite a few.
