BSGAR Virtual Education

BSGAR will start CYCLE 2 of the Virtual Education programme in September 2023. Cycle 1 cases and recordings will be replaced block by block as the cycle progresses.  All new material for CYCLE 2 will be prefaced by respective year and is being reviewed and updated so please register and join in. Scroll down for programme.

Weekly sessions will be delivered during term time and have been aligned to cover the RCR and ESR curricula for GI/HPB radiology.  At the start of each hour long session there will be a 15-minute talk followed by a review of cases using www.pacsbin.com. Attendees will be able to review these cases before, during and after the session. The sessions will be aimed at post 2B level. If you have the option of a two screen setup you may find it useful.

Eligibility

The programme is open to all, free of charge and delegates are not required to be BSGAR members.

The sessions will be arranged in blocks of approximately six topics. Details for each block will be published on the BSGAR website with links to register via Zoom. Scroll down to view programme.
