Training video is the first in a series
Dr Joshua Shur and BIR past president Dr David Wilson.
Dr Joshua Shur from St George’s Hospital, London, has been awarded the BIR/Philips Award for Excellence for a teaching resource called Upper GI Contrast Study, the first of a series of radiology teaching videos. He was presented with the award by BIR past president Dr David Wilson at the BIR’s annual event The future of radiology in the NHS: Top topics for interview’. Applicants were invited to submit an educational resource which will be available via the BIR website.
Dr Shur and his colleague Dr Shahrooz Mohammadi developed a video resource to succinctly demonstrate the theory and technique behind the barium swallow, the most common upper gastrointestinal fluorographic study. The video is aimed at radiologists, radiographers, physicists and those involved in radiation protection.
Dr Shur said: “I am delighted to accept this award and hope that this will become the first in a series of useful videos. With competing pressures on service provision and teaching in modern practice it is often difficult to find sufficient time to gain procedural competencies I hope these tools will help address this training need.”
