Summary of my time at the UKIO congress 2022

The UKIO congress 2022 was held in Liverpool at the ACC arena, and contained three packed full days of lectures and exhibitions. Overall there was a heavy focus on AI, however most talks were from industry talkers, attempting to sell a product.

Review of AI guidance published by the SOR AI working group (Malamateniou et al., 2021)

This paper was published due to the increasing development and use of artificial intelligence within the radiography profession. It aims to provide baseline guidance for those that may encounter AI in education, research, clinical practice and stakeholder partnership.

SOR IV Cannulation Course (27/08/2021 & 28/08/2021)

Having cannulated for many years, I was unsure as to the overall benefit of this course. It was a requirement for the company I worked for, as I had only had in-house training previously and had no certification to prove I was able to cannulate.

Training Event: 'Adult Resuscitation' (2/2/2022)

This two-hour course aims to prepare healthcare professionals for the eventuality of a cardiac arrest. To pass this course you are required to demonstrate how you would perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and what extra measures you would take.

An Introduction to Motivation - Level 2

This Educare training was extremely useful, not just for my working life, but also for my studies. It also discusses motivation theories that can inspire a team towards giving their best.

An Introduction to Risk Assessment - Level 2

This was part of an EduCare package that the SoR recommends. I thought this would be an excellent way to gain some knowledge and improve my skills in this area. Having recently been offered the position of Lead Forensic Radiographer at my hospital, I need to be fully up-to-date on these procedures.
