The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest global health emergency in a generation. The UK now stands on the precipice of a second surge that could overwhelm the NHS. Early diagnosis is absolutely critical to containment.
Imaging services have taken centre stage in orchestrating the fight against COVID-19 with clinical imaging doctors (radiologists) finding themselves at the frontline of the COVID-19 response. In particular, the expertise of specialist chest imaging doctors has been pivotal in the development of a national strategy to ensure early diagnosis, reduce cross-infection and deliver high quality care for COVID-19 patients.
This compelling online lecture explores the untold story of the COVID-19 pandemic – and how clinical imaging has emerged as the cornerstone of frontline triage.
Speaker: Dr Sam Hare is a leading consultant chest radiologist and was recently appointed National Specialty Adviser for Imaging for NHSE.
