Scroll down for programme...

The British Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (BSGAR) present: A Virtual Learning Programme - 1st Tuesday of the month 2024/25 for Core Radiology Trainees (ST 1-3).  A BSGAR delivered, NHSE funded, GI entry level national series of lectures. All UK SpRs can access live during academy sessions, please liaise with your TPD who will distribute links for each session.

BSGAR is delighted to collaborate with NHSE for the benefit of our trainees. BSGAR will deliver 10 half day sessions, each comprising 4 topics, delivered virtually. Sessions will be delivered on the first Tuesday of each month from September 2024 to July 2025 (please note slight amendments to accommodate BSGAR annual meeting).

Sessions will be delivered via Zoom and share anonymized imaging cases using the cloud-based software, Pacsbin. The relevant links to each session will be distributed by Academy leads via BSGAR.

It is anticipated that Academies will offer these AM sessions locally, with trainees attending an appropriate communal venue. If Academies wish to deliver this learning virtually, the links provided can be distributed to individual trainees.  If Academies/Hospitals cannot release trainees for the session but wish these to be accessible after the event, the topics/session recordings will be made available - NB the recordings page is password protected.  Academies/TPDs have been sent the password and are responsible for distributing as appropriate. 

It is suggested that academies may wish to deliver more specific local training in the associated PM session that elaborate and develop themes covered.  Please see the programme below and a downloadable pdf at the bottom of the page.  *Please note all Cycle 1 material has been removed from the BSGAR website in preparation for Cycle 2.

**PLEASE NOTE SESSIONS ARE FOR UK SpR (ST1-3) ONLY.  Zoom links will be sent to TPDs two weeks prior to event for onward distribution.**
