ACTATS launched on 07 May 2020 in anticipation of Scotland’s nation-wide thrombectomy service starting up. In the past month, 702 users have registered. 27 have completed all training components, which makes them eligible for 7 CPD credits, in accordance with the CPD Scheme of the Royal College of Radiologists.
Registration is free thanks to the support of Medtronic & NHS National Services Scotland. The training tool consists of three didactic lectures, with MCQs to test learning from the didactic lectures; a series of 30 validated, plain CT & CTA stroke cases for practice; a five question feedback survey to help us improve the training tool; & a certificate of completion.
ACTATS is suitable for any radiologists or stroke physicians worldwide, who have an interest in improving their CTA evaluation & interpretation skills. We encourage anyone involved with thrombectomy & imaging to enrol & to complete the training.

BSNR Online Trainee Teaching
Organised by the Training and Education Subcommittee of the BSNR.
We recognise that during the Covid pandemic, training in radiology has been compromised. We have attempted to bridge this gap and help provide an alternative to the Trainee Symposia which have been cancelled in June and September.
Below are sessions particularly aimed at your level of training. Please email bsnrtrainee@gmail.com to join the neuroradiology trainee mailing list to be informed of joining details.
We have divided them into:
Tutorials
These can accommodate larger audiences and will help consolidate and develop your knowledge in particular subject areas. Whilst we acknowledge that it is difficult to create an interactive experience, there will be opportunity to ask questions and create discussion.
Case-Based Workshop
Ideally, these replicate the workshops form the symposia and will allow the Tutor to share cases from their collection on a particular topic. We hope that we will develop the sessions to allows screen sharing, creating a more interactive experience.
BSNR Fellows Grand Round
These sessions will be facilitated by a Consultant but essentially run by the trainees. We are hoping to take these around the UK, allowing trainees to show their interesting cases. If possible, we would like to combine this with a BSNR case of the week via the usual social media channels.
Although there is no replacement for the networking opportunities at the BSNR ASM and Training Symposia, we would encourage you all to attend these sessions regularly as we are sure new ideas will evolve.
We also encourage you to attend the regular ESNR and ASPNR/ISNTN lectures that have been providing fantastic content for the past few weeks.
