The event aims to bring together all strands of the lifecycle of nuclear medicine, allowing for interested researchers, clinicians, scientists, industry stakeholders and members of the public to get a better picture of this wide and varied field. Topics for discussion include:
• Production of relevant nuclides within reactors and accelerators. • The preparation of nuclides to be used as radiopharmaceuticals. • The techniques and uses of these species in medicine. • The safe disposal of radioisotopes.
The Medical Physics and Nuclear Industry Groups, believe this one-day event to be a rare opportunity for the varied topics related to the use of radionuclides in medicine to be presented and discussed in a high-level cross-sector manner. The event will also provide opportunities for current and future challenges in the field to be discussed. Please forward this email to others who you think may find the event of interest.
We look forwards to welcoming you all at the IOP in London on the 7th of June

IRMF Warrington (with Exhibition) 12 June 2019
IRMF is taking place at The Centre, Birchwood Park in Warrington. Programme of the day will be released shortly.
More information about this event will be released shortly.
We offer a three-day course (CPD recognition applied for) for the novel technology of PET-MR. The first day will review either PET or MR theory separately for people with a background in the respective other modality. We will then cover the new simultaneous PET-MR scanners in terms of technology and applications. There will be lectures, scanner visits, interactive Active Learning sessions, workshops and sessions on reading scans together with clinicians. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to demonstrate understanding for PET or MR (whichever the modality they were not familiar with before), the principles of PET-MR, its clinical and scientific uses, with knowledge of opportunities and limitations.
Fees: £595 Corporate, £480 Non-corporate, £395 Internal, £275 Student

OSWESTRY ORLAU GAIT COURSE 26-28 June 2019 Conference Centre, Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital
Target Audience: Orthopaedic Consultants and Senior Trainees, Rehabilitation Doctors, Physiotherapists, Orthotists, Clinical Scientists and other Allied Healthcare Professionals with an interest in gait.
Aim: This course will provide a unique insight into why we walk the way we do. Learn about normal gait and how impairments can impact on this pattern of movement. It will provide a mixture of lectures, practical workshops and patient case studies in small groups to help delegates understand and interpret video, 2-D video vector and 3-D gait analysis. A multi-disciplinary approach will give participants an awareness of how gait analysis can guide our management of mobility problems to improve patient outcomes.
Faculty: Staff from ORLAU, Keele and Salford Universities who have significant experience in teaching gait both nationally and internationally.
Fee £350 to book: Visit www.orthopaedic-institute.org or Email sian.jones36@nhs.net

The Newcastle Radiation Protection Supervisors’
Scope: This is a one/two day course for healthcare professionals. It provides both introductory and advanced training in the principles and practice of radiation safety within an x-ray, nuclear medicine or radiotherapy environment. The full two day course supports a radiation protection supervisor (RPS) new to that role, whereas a more experienced RPS wishing to update his/her knowledge would attend on the second day. Syllabus: This course has been updated to reflect the new ionising radiations regulations, having been developed with input from all available guidance, and has been accredited by the SCoR as part of its “CPD-now” scheme. The format of this course and the venue selected are intended to facilitate discussion and debate amongst all those present. A certificate of attendance is provided. Teaching staff: The course is presented by a small team of experienced radiation safety professionals all of whom have RPA and MPE accreditation. More information: Northern Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering, Level 2, NCCC, Freeman Hospital, Freeman Road, High Heaton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE7 7DN; e-mail NewcastleRPScourse@nuth.nhs.uk (0191) 2138631
Discover, discuss and debate recent advances in radiotherapy. A fantastic opportunity to learn and network at this interactive conference. The programme includes; tours of the Proton Centre and MR Linac, a wide variety of plenary sessions workshops, debates and social events.
The large number of BioMedEng science and technology themes on our website is reflective of the breadth and depth of our discipline and of the scope of attendees that we can expect: this twelfth meeting in the series follows on from last year’s successful conference at which we had over 500 delegates from 67 separate universities and 32 companies and other organisations. This congress truly has become the annual jamboree for all of those who consider themselves Bioengineers, Biomedical Engineers and Medical Engineers and so I invite you to join us in presenting your work and participating in what is sure to be another stimulating and enjoyable meeting. See you in London in September.

Learning objectives for this course:
This course provides practical and theoretical education for the support of a modern radiotherapy physics service within radiotherapy. It is aimed primarily at recently qualified radiotherapy physicists, but should also be invaluable to post-graduate students, researchers, clinical oncologists, engineers, radiographers, manufacturers’ representatives and in fact, anyone needing to deepen or update their understanding of this rapidly evolving field. The faculty is composed of physicists, clinicians and radiographers, many of whom are internationally renowned for their expertise. Saturday workshops and demonstrations make full use of the facilities of the Radiotherapy and Physics Departments of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. The course content is reviewed annually to reflect changes in practice and technology.
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. IAMPOV 2020 follows the previously held symposiums; 2015 at St Luke’s International University, Japan, 2012 at Yale University, 2007 at Duke University, and 2002 in Lübeck, Germany. These meetings have traditionally attracted more than 150 participants. We anticipate the upcoming symposium will have an attendance of 200 medical professionals, engineers and device developers. The 2020 planning committee has sought internationally known speakers to present topics relevant to the monitoring of oxygenation and ventilation. The format of the program will include plenary lectures, scientific poster presentations and opportunity for vendor participation through scientific exhibits. The ultimate goal is to establish an environment leading to greater collaboration between academics, clinicians and industry.
