Watch our unique series of radiology debates filmed at UKRC 2011
You can watch these debates and more on the Medica Group YouTube Channel
What is the FRCR worth?
We discuss the value to NHS Trust of being able to outsource their radiology reporting to FRCR-qualified consultant radiologists.
Radiology Reporting and Patient Safety. Does the NHS really care?
Can NHS Trusts be absolutely sure of the experience and qualifications of the person reporting their patients' images? Should patients be made aware where their images are being read?
Unreported X-Rays
Known reports of backlogs of unreported plain film are very troubling, with some patients receiving late diagnoses of cancer. We discuss the serious potential problems facing NHS Trusts and how companies like Medica can alleviate the backlog.
What is the cost of Teleradiology?
With the NHS continually under pressure to reduce operating costs, we discuss what Trusts need to consider when outsourcing and how the quality of reporting can either save or cost radiology departments more in the long run.
