The Red Dot Trauma Course - for Radiographers

about the course

In 1985 Dr. Lol Berman and Dr. Gerald de Lacey published the first description of a radiographer alert system in the U.K. See: Berman L, de Lacey G, et al. Reducing errors in the accident department; a simple method using Radiographers. BMJ 1985: 290 : 421-422. Subsequently, this Red Dot scheme was introduced throughout the U.K. It has now been extended so that in many departments Radiographers undertake the formal reporting of Emergency Department radiographs.

The one day course has been designed to meet the specific needs of Radiographers. The day has been divided into four periods. Each period commences with 15 minute lectures followed by an interactive tutorial with Dr. Simon Morley and the long range mouse. Use is made of teaching quizzes - i.e. real life cases - with pairs of registrants examining and discussing the images together. All tutorials and quizzes utilise digital images and easy to use software.
