Inter-disciplinary Cases Workshop
21st June 2017
08:30-12:30
Learning Centre, Papworth Hospital
Have you
ever wondered what those Cardiac Science STP trainees get up to all day? Or
what the Haematologists do in the laboratory? Or how Medical Physicists know
what they're looking at when performing an MRI scan? The East of England
Healthcare Science Network are organising an inter-disciplinary cases afternoon
workshop to help us find out!
What
does the workshop involve?
In small,
multi-discipline groups we will discuss cases and their investigations from the
point of view of all disciplines. Examples of cases might be heart disease,
cancer, cystic fibrosis or a whole range of other conditions!
This way we
can learn about different diseases from the perspective of:
·
Laboratory
test results
·
Underlying
immunological or genetic causes
·
The role and
results of physiological tests
·
The types of
imaging involved
·
And more!
Case
subjects will be sent out to participants ahead of time to allow for
preparation.
What
will you get out of it?
As Trainee Clinical
Scientists we need to be aware of and have an understanding of the breadth and
range of investigations that can be performed to diagnose a particular disease.
This day enables us to collaborate and share our knowledge and engage in
teaching of our peers, which maps perfectly to at least one professional
practice competency!
What
are we asking STP trainees to do?
1)
We would like to collect case examples from each
discipline: Life Sciences, Physiological Sciences and
Physical Sciences.
If you have
a real case (or a textbook example) in which more than one discipline is
involved in the investigation, please can you send a summary of the case to the
East of England Healthcare Science Trainee Reps at eoehcs@gmail.com, before Tuesday 30th
May 2017.
Please also
ask your training officers and senior colleagues for examples.
2) If you would
like to attend this event, please RSVP via email to eoehcs@gmail.com by Tuesday 30th May.
Thank you for your help in preparing for this day,
and we look forward to seeing you there!
