e-learning resources, active promotion is required to raise awareness of this fantastic resource, to maximise use and facilitate improved patient care.
Conclusion The Image Interpretation project is a substantial resource for practitioners, offering flexible learning in key areas of image interpretation. Improved interpretation skills will contribute to streamlined patient pathways, efficient use of resources and assist in the delivery of a patient focused NHS. e-Learning for Healthcare's award winning pedigree, coupled with content produced over many hundreds of hours by nationally and internationally renowned practitioners and academics, validate the high quality learning available, and the project should act as a barometer by which other programs are judged.
