Professional education at your fingertips, 24/7
Views and insights from Medical Imaging Academy users include high praise for easy-to-navigate hub of resources to help expand knowledge even when time is at a premium
Early feedback from registered members of the Medical Imaging Academy has highlighted its value and relevance in today’s busy imaging world to provide instant and free live and on-demand education.
With radiology continuing to be under pressure from unfilled vacancies, backlogs and growing numbers of patients, the new online academy of how-to guides, live and on-demand videos plus a wide range of information, provides an instant panacea to keep education needs fulfilled.
Education on the go, or to help answer simple questions when in the scanning room
David Sugden, CT Manager at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, reflects: “Having knowledge development and training resources at our fingertips – either on PCs in the scanning room or on our phones on the go – means we can get quick reminders on routine queries or immediate answers to advanced questions that we or our wider team may have. Sometimes you don’t want to ask another person a question that seems too obvious, but the Medical Imaging Academy is a free and instant go-to resource to hold our hand and guide the way. It also delivers high-end knowledge development that expands horizons without needing to physically attend events or training sessions.”
He continues, “The Medical Imaging Academy is also a great way of creating a professional network of Canon Medical users where we can share best practice and gain cutting-edge updates from industry specialists. It is a very valuable resource in today’s world, and I look forward to it growing in depth and strength.”
A secure and accredited training platform for hard working imaging teams
Gemma Walsh, Deputy Lead MRI Radiographer at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust agrees: “We’re a busy
department with radiographers working rotationally around different sites. Any knowledge that is easily accessible in a safe and accredited format is such a positive, as we’re not all specialists in a given area. We also undertake out-of-hours scanning, so simple questions that can be answered using the Medical Imaging Academy could mean our team overcoming queries or challenges more quickly using it as a first-layer resource.”
“Additional benefits of the education hub are being able to attend live webinars and view videos. This will support us in being efficient in meeting CPD or training needs. Being able to attend sessions virtually means savings in time and cost to the NHS, at the same time as growing our skills. I will recommend it to all my team.” //
