Maidstone Hospital hosted the first Kent and Medway Breast Study Day last month, with over 100 delegates gathering for presentations and discussions on practice development, innovation, breast imaging and national requirements for the NHS breast screening service. Presenters included Consultant Radiographer, Ivy Okereke who explored artificial intelligence developments in breast radiology, and Innovation Manager, Hayley Beresford who discussed opportunities for attendees to be involved in research and innovation. The event also included a poster presentation, including studies such as the Breast Radiology team’s research into gender inequality in breast radiology services, which was recognised at this year's Healthwatch Awards. Superintendent Radiographer, Sally Harper said the day: “...was a resounding success...We’ve collected extremely positive feedback from the event, and look forward to welcoming colleagues again in the future to further develop our practice.”
