TARGET AUDIENCE: The course is designed for Core Trainees (years 1-3) in Radiology. This includes trainees committed to IR as a sub speciality and those involved to a lesser extent. All radiology trainees should find the course a useful adjunct to their training and leave IRTB with an improved confidence and ability to participate in the interventional suite. |

TOPICS and STRUCTURE: Core aspects of both vascular and non-vascular interventional techniques are covered in interactive lectures, small group tutorials and practical skills sessions. The format is informal, friendly and practical and constantly evolving based on feedback from previous courses. |
