Learning Objectives


Professional Skills in Radiology

Carrying on from last year’s teaching day on Human Factors and Patient Safety, we continue to explore the non-interpretative and non-procedural skills you will need for successful clinical practice as a consultant.
Under the heading ‘professional skills’, these include a number of cognitive and social behaviour that can be taught and learnt. We will briefly revise some of concepts we covered last year and look carefully at a number of others, including avoiding stress and burnout as well as harnessing adversity.


Sessions 1 & 2

In these sessions we will also look at the critical issue of the mental and physical health of the individual, looking particularly at strategies to improve well-being, particularly actively managing acute stress and preventing burnout.


Sessions 3 & 4

Session 3 & 4 will cover the key professional skills (sometimes called non-technical skills) necessary for safe and competent practice. We will briefly cover the 6 core tenets (situational awareness, decision-making, communication, teamwork, leadership & coping with fatigue),
illustrated with worked examples in every-day Radiological practice.


Sessions 5 & 6

The last two sessions look at a crucial part of professional practice, learning to be better. Whilst CPD activities are obviously important, learning from your day to day work is a more valuable, readily available and powerful source. The crucial aspect is that potentially negative phenomena (mistakes, discrepancies, errors) and difficult situations (busy, stressed, tired) can be highly valuable learning experiences. This session will address ways to harness adversity as your new best teacher.
