GUH Hosts Live Radiology Cases for National Conference

Galway University Hospital Interventional Radiology (IR) is hosting “live cases” for the LINC conference in Germany on 27/1/2015. More than 100 cases will be performed from 15 international centres worldwide and transmitted real-time online to a wide medical / healthcare audience using the latest in high definition television and wireless technology. The audience (remotely) can ask questions as the operations occur. This will be of huge interest to patients with these specific endovascular conditions alike to observe the different interventional approaches and techniques used during these operations 
GUH is the only hospital in Ireland or the UK to be so honoured. This is one of the biggest meetings of its kind in the world and will be viewed live by at least 4000 doctors / health care professionals on the main screen in Leipzig, Germany; plus many thousands more around the world. This is Galway’s second year to take part in this Interventional course following last year’s resounding success. 
 
LINC is a comprehensive and interventional live course designed to foster collaboration between colleagues worldwide and to promote the understanding and development of endovascular therapies that can be incorporated into daily clinical practice. This highlights how technological advancements in Medicine are contributing to improving practice through innovative online education and training. Leipzig  Interventional Course is committed to advancing the scientific and clinical evaluation and treatment of patients with complex vascular disease through an interdisciplinary intervention and discussion of novel endovascular techniques as they occur.
