Practical radiation protection: innovation and challenges for 2020 and beyond. The last few years have seen a variety of changes and challenges in the RP community with the implementation of the 2013 EURATOM Basic Safety Standards into UK legislation and the impact of BREXIT. The focus is how we address these challenges from a practical stand point, and how implementation has worked for example:
This conference intends to address these and other concepts from a practical standpoint with presentations from across all areas of the RP community, from the medical field to non-nuclear with speakers with experience as RPAs, RWAs, regulators, instrumentation and dosimetry experts .

Learning objectives
This symposium aims to increase the awareness and knowledge of the indications and techniques of intra-cranial SRS and extra-cranial SBRT, at a time when an expansion of SRS/SBRT activity is planned across Ireland and the European Continent. This two-day, fully interactive educational program will cover some of the fundamentals and advanced concepts of SRS/SBRT, technological challenges, quality assurance and patient safety, and the present and future clinical applications. Interactive workshops on treatment planning, respiratory motion analysis and multimodality imaging for intra-cranial planning will be run during the symposium.
The symposium faculty has significant links with the academic and research world, both nationally and internationally, as well as Trans-European experience. The target audience includes Radiation Oncologists, Medical Physicists, Radiation Therapists, and allied health professionals, as well as Neurosurgeons, Medical Oncologists and Researchers. This event is jointly organized by Beacon Hospital, St Luke's Institute of Cancer Research and Hermitage Medical Clinic. EACCME,ESTRO EFOMP, IIRT accreditations applied
Abstract Submissions is open for the poster exhibition. Closing date for Applications is April 1st 2020. www.irishsrsandsbrtsymposium.com
Thanks to our generous sponsors, this year registration for the symposium is complementary.
The conference will unite the brightest minds in cancer research to discuss and debate some of the greatest issues in the field. Our multidisciplinary programme combines expertise from across the breadth of brain tumour research, together with insights from allied disciplines, to spark new opportunities for collaborative research. Although survival rates for most cancers have shown an encouraging upward trend, the fearsome complexity of the brain, and the plethora of different disease subtypes, has left brain tumour survival languishing at the bottom of the table. Our intention is to provide a stimulating environment where scientists from across the research pipeline can showcase new discoveries, spark new collaborations, and create the synergy needed to accelerate progress for patients.
The Third Annual Peter Wells memorial will be given by Dr Kianoush Nazarpour, a Reader in Biomedical Engineering at Newcastle University. Kianoush has a poignant connection to the significance of this lecture as Peter Wells was his external PhD examiner. The talk will centre around prosthetic hands, with deep learning and EMG based control loops, and is using these in the NHS
Reasons to attend:
With a national shortage of paediatric radiologists, the task of diagnostic imaging often falls on the shoulders of a radiologist with a broad scope of practice. This broad based teaching study day is designed with this radiologist in mind, covering a wide range of topics. This event will be suitable for general radiologists, paediatric sonographers as well as other healthcare professionals and those with an interest in paediatric radiology.

Educational aims: To keep updated on the current knowledge in diagnostic gastrointestinal radiology To keep up-to-date with emerging diagnostic strategies To provide an overview of image guided intervention in the gastrointestinal
2020 International Symposium of Innovations & Applications of Monitoring Oxygenation & Ventilation (IAMPOV) June 11 – 14 2020 London, England at the City, University of London
City, University of London, the FDA’s Center for Devices & Radiological Health (CDRH), and the Society for Technology in Anesthesia are pleased to announce the 2020 International Symposium of Innovations & Applications of Monitoring Oxygenation & Ventilation (IAMPOV). The goal of this unique meeting is to explore new developments and innovations in perfusion, oxygenation and ventilation monitoring technologies and clinical applications. The international roster of speakers is an assembly of world renowned scientists and clinicians in the fields of engineering, physics, and medicine. Articles and abstracts generated from this symposium will be published in an upcoming supplement of the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia.
