Thank you @YLvsCancer for helping us to make this happen. It’s crucial that we hear our patients’ voices at these meetings where we are all coming together to work out how to do things better.

Very privileged today to welcome Kimberley to #ECIO2024. Kimberley is an extraordinary advocate for oncology patients, passionate about raising awareness of the cancer journey. I was proud to show them some of the #IO vendor innovations + advances here #IR #paediatricIR

The landscape & outlook of #paediatricIR (PIR) is evolving & expanding across Europe. As the call to make PIR more accessible to the wider body of IR practitioners becomes louder, CIRSE shines a spotlight on the discipline. ➡️t.ly/HGZ_7 #IRad #pediatricIR

@rsmithnuh @JenParrish_CNS Only got appointed this month so I have a lot to learn, including this! We have a consultant radiographer @Paed_IR_Rad and as a result I know more about the radiography side of things, but I don’t about IR CNSs……yet.

@JenParrish_CNS @BarnacleAlex may know as GIRFT lead? Thanks in advance 🙌🏻

Does anybody know of any Trusts that have interventional radiology clinical nurse specialists?

@NHSGIRFT Thank you! This is going to be a blast! I’m thrilled to be joining the @NHSGIRFT team. What an honour ⭐️
