RadCast

This month we record our first video pod with a guest on as we get back round the table with Dr Paul McCoubrie, a Consultant Radiologist at North Bristol NHS Trust and now a two time author with his new book "More Rules Of Radiology", the sequel to the esteemed 'The Rules of Radiology' book. During our chat, we get to ask Paul what it's like being a 2nd time author, pick his brains behind some of our favourite rules in his new book and of course, get the inside scoop on whether there will be a 3rd in the series,

Update as per 01/09/24: we have been contacted by the Chair of the FRCR 2B who has kindly given us some further information (thank you for reaching out). The proposed changes to the rapids will unlikely be before June 2025. Also, the option to "bank" passes in individual components of the 2B will not be going ahead. Welcome to our second video podcast (or is it vidpod or podvid?), In this episode, we share with you insider, not-so-secret info about the new changes to the FRCR 2B exam. We'll also give our thoughts on the highly contentious topic that is Physician Associates aka theywhoshallnotbenamed. From there, we'll talk about some interesting news in the radiology world including what it takes to get an entire radiology department fired!

This month we have a shock announcement to make as after almost 6 years of releasing the pod, this will be our final episode! We discuss the reasons behind the decision and what the future holds for RadCast. We also compare our choices of our top 3 RadCast episodes of all time. Listen in to see if you agree with us or if we even agree with each other! On that note we would like to say a massive thank you to all the listeners over the years, goodbye!

This month we speak to Dr Monika Radikė who is a Consultant Cardiothoracic Radiologist at the Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital. We discuss advanced Cardiac imaging, turf wars and research and explore her experiences working in leading centres across Europe including Lisbon, Barcelona, Brussels and London.

This month we speak to Dr Salman Qureshi who is a Consultant Head & Neck Radiologist at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City/Mayo Clinic in Abu Dhabi, having formerly held consultant posts in Qatar and Manchester. We discuss his enthusiasm for medical education and how this takes him all over the world delivering lectures on the global conference circuit. We also take a slight detour from our usual theme to discuss Salman's newfound passion for walking, which has sparked a lifestyle and body transformation that he hopes to share with the world through social media.

This month we speak to Dr Susie Shelmerdine who is an Academic Paediatric Radiologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. We discuss her niche subspecialty interest, post mortem imaging, and how she has channelled this interest into founding a company called Anubix. We also discuss academia, AI and her recent Radiology outreach trip to Nepal. Enjoy!

This month we speak to Dr David Little who is a Consultant Radiologist and Head of School of Severn Radiology. We delve into the MAP debate and discuss the open letter he wrote to the RCR about PA regulation in October which gained over 1200 signatures. He also tells us what it was like running for RCR President in 2002 and we get his perspective on Radiology recruitment as a member of the RCR recruitment subcommittee including his strong views on the MSRA and top tips for anyone applying this year.

This month we chat to Dr Dan Fascia who is a Consultant Musculoskeletal Radiologist, Regional Clinical Director of the Yorkshire Imaging Collaborative and Chair of the RCR Informatics Committee. We discuss the ideal tech set-up for radiologists, the current state of AI adoption in the NHS and beyond with tools like Chat GPT. We also discuss his various entrepreneurial/educational ventures including Pacsbin and Radiology Masters.

This month we chat to Dr Rahil Kassamali, a British Interventional Radiologist who in 2020 quit the NHS and took up a post at Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar. IR is often neglected in discussions around Radiologists working abroad so he gives us a great insight into how made the switch and whether he would recommend it to others. His experience of working in a public healthcare system in Qatar also provides an interesting contrast to our episode 52 guest, Umi's, experience of working in private healthcare in Dubai.
