Set to live tweet from latest #CHFTalks on #PoweringThrough, discussing issues for consumers (& carers/services) who rely on critical continuous energy supply at home, eg if dependent on ventilators or dialysis machines, re challenges/health threats when the power goes out. With an ageing population & rise in home-based medical care, the risks for consumers using medical equipment, especially to sustain their lives, are increased due to more frequent natural disasters causing power outages. @CHFofAustralia #CHFTalks #PoweringThrough #ClimateCrisis

A new thread now from the opening #ASMIRT2024 plenary. Hearing first on 'Resilient Responses: Innovating Disaster Health Care', from Abi Trewin AM from the National Critical Care & Trauma Response Centre. She begins with reflections on the 2004 tsunami and Bali bombings

A thread now to catch up on discussions around artificial intelligence (AI) - a hot topic everywhere, including at #ASMIRT2023.

See some of the issues raised in our 'future of medical radiation sciences' Q&A piece

Gary Denham is a radiographer at @HNEHealth, with a number of presentations for #ASMIRT2023, incl (related to Edel Doyle previously): Beyond the skeletal survey: how modern neuroimaging is revealing the effects of childhood maltreatment Denham says it's well established that childhood maltreatment/abuse is detrimental to mental health & a major risk factor for most psychiatric disorders. Can also lead to a range of behavioural problems & alter the structure/function of the developing brain #ASMIRT2023

We're set to follow the final day of #ASMIRT2023 - national gathering of the medical radiation sciences: been a big agenda of clinical/workplace issues, also diversity/inclusion, AI, patient-centred care Today's opening #ASMIRT2023 session will focus on forensic radiography, workplace wellness/burnout, clinical issues, education and gaps in care.

Interesting session coming up now #ASMIRT2023: Champions of Change, to be closed with a panel discussion on patient centred care And just as interesting in the other plenary on application of AI (artificial intelligence), which will also end in a panel discussion - ft @DrKEHawk @DrEMRohren, Phillip Chlap, moderated by @DrGeoffCurrie #ASMIRT2023

Catching up re earlier #ASMIRT2023 session from @CMalamateniou on: Artificial Intelligence is changing
radiography: What should we do? (Pic: ASMIRT) "AI is just another tool we need to use effectively & responsibly to solve real clinical problems; radiographers are frontrunners in this race, together with all other profs working in medical imaging, radiotherapy & nuclear medicine." @CMalamateniou told Croakey #ASMIRT2023

Next session up at #ASMIRT2023, with a focus here on evidence based practice and research while @AlisonSBarrett will be tweeting re the stream on building a resilient & responsive workforce On why #ASMIRT2023 is talking about the need to build an evidence base, @CMalamateniou told Croakey: "Radiography is a relatively new profession, so it still builds its evidence base. ...It leans equally on technology & person-centred care. So these are the two areas of (focus)."

#ASMIRT2023 is gearing up for a high-level closing session tomorrow on 'the future of medical radiation sciences (MRS)' - key speakers shared their thoughts with us ahead of the session on what excites/worries them & much more croakey.org/what-does-the-… We heard insights on #AI, scope of practice, education, research, patient-centred care and more from @CMalamateniou @AmandaBoldersto
