NHS England in East of England is committed to providing outstanding regional training, ensuring it is accessible to all trainees.

3. Assess the quality of teaching cases uploaded to iCode by other PACS users across the region, and incorporate the best of these cases into formal learning modules and assessments.
4. Create learning modules and assessments appropriate for radiology trainees, radiographers, sonographers, junior doctors, medical students and other health professionals with an imaging learning need.
5. Work with the NHS England WTE regional team and the Academy’s leadership to develop and promote the Academy across the region’s Trusts.
6. Roll out delivery of your teaching and assessment projects across the East of England.
