International Radiology Recognition

We are delighted that Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital has been successfully accepted by the European Society of Radiology (ESR) as a training centre for cardiothoracic imaging. 

The recognition means that visiting fellows have an opportunity to spend up to three months within our radiology department, experiencing another training environment and developing their interest in a radiology sub-specialty.

The qualified trainees will be given a structured introduction to cardiothoracic imaging and will be supervised by our consultant radiologists. Dr Hilary Fewins has kindly accepted to coordinate and organise the structured training program for our future cardiothoracic fellows and Dr Sukumaran Binukrishnan will be leading the training in cardiothoracic imaging.

Dr Klaus Irion, our Lead Consultant Radiologist, said: “This is an important step for our department as well as for the Trust now being identified as a highly esteemed international reference centre.

“Thank you to Dr Fewins for her hard work in developing this new partnership with the ESR.”

One of the aims of the ESR is to raise standards in the field of scientific radiology, extend and coordinate radiology teaching resources worldwide, and to help young radiologists to achieve the knowledge and skills to fulfil tomorrow’s requirements.
