His primary role is to support the clinical use and development of radiotherapy imaging technologies and work towards improved systems integration. He has a particular interest in bridging the gap between different imaging disciplines and optimising imaging across the radiotherapy process.

He is founder of the IQWorks project, leads the Radiotherapy Imaging User Group and provided physics support under the national NRIG mentoring programme for IGRT implementation. Andrew served as Chairman of the BIR Radiation, Physics & Dosimetry Committee until 2009, was a member of BIR Council from 2010-2013 and represents the BIR on the DH Medical Physics Expert working group.

Andy Rogers Head of Radiation Physics, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust I am Head of Radiation Physics at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and also the retiring Chair of the British Institute of Radiology’s [BIR] Radiation Protection Committee and BIR Vice-President of External Affairs. I represent BIR on the working group that will advise the DH on the EU Basic Safety Standards revision as well as the National Research Ethics Service. I have recently joined the international standards organisation IEC to represent the UK in a project looking at the use of dose data held in digital imaging modalities along with being a member of an ICRP working group drafting a report on diagnostic reference levels. My current research interests are observer studies, skin dose assessment and optimisation in interventional cardiology.

Abstracts (where supplied) Starting research Andrew Reilly Getting started in research can at first seem onerous. This presentation aims to break down the myths and barriers to getting involved in research.

Routes into research and development will be explored, with emphasis being made on seizing the initiative in one’s own place of work, whether or not currently employed in a research position. Funding opportunities will be discussed and management of the different phases of the project lifecycle will be considered. Successful research relies on contributions from the various members of the project team, each of whom has a particular role to play. All roles within the team are important, and different skills and personal strengths are required for each. Therefore, it is likely that an individual interested in research will be able to find an activity suited to their own aptitude. The various roles will be considered and the skills required for each discussed.

Practical examples will be drawn from real-life activities to illustrate the points raised, with reflections given on lessons learned.

Writing a scientific paper David Eaton Writing a scientific paper and getting it accepted for publication requires clarity of expression, impact, and some perseverance. However, the following guidelines can ease the process: • • • • • • • • •

Choose a journal based on the intended readership of your article Seek out a mentor to help you Condense your key aims to a single sentence Start with the results and methods, then work outwards Create a narrative arc through the work Be pedantic about format and presentation Seek feedback from others Respond politely and specifically to reviewer comments Remember to promote the final result

Poster to paper Andy Rogers This short presentation will explain why posters are an important step along the path to full peer-reviewed paper. It will describe what attributes a good poster has in terms of knowing the audience and keeping their attention through visual aids and clarity of reasoning. The presentation will then describe how a poster may be amended and supplemented to allow submission as a full paper. It will do this by focussing on the key sections of a paper and describing how best to morph what material you had for your poster effectively in to material for a publication – these sections are ‘Introduction & Aims’, ‘Method’, ‘Results’ and ‘Discussion and Conclusions’. Each section will be dealt with separately finishing with a summary table as a key ‘take home’ message.

Writing and publishing audits and case studies Andrew Plumb This talk will cover some of the reasons you may wish to publish audit, service evaluation and case reports or case series. Difficulties with publishing case reports in the radiology literature will be highlighted, as well as some advice on how to structure a case report to make acceptance more likely and make it a more useful scientific contribution. Audits and service evaluations will be described, along with examples of what to do (and what not to do!) when seeking publication.

Final draft to publication Sophia Anderton So you’ve written your paper and it’s been accepted by editors, but have you ever wondered what happens after you’ve submitted your final draft before it’s published?

This session will cover the behind-the-scenes processes that take a paper from a simple Word document, through data capture, styling, editing, typesetting and proof-reading, to final publication online and in print. It will help authors understand all the processes that take place and ensure that you prepare your article to make it all as stream-lined as possible, avoiding common hurdles which cause delays. There will also be an opportunity to see what might lie ahead in journals publishing.

Standing up for science Victoria Murphy Sense About Science equips people to make sense of science and evidence, often by getting scientists talking on issues that matter to society. Do you grumble to your friends and colleagues when the headline doesn’t match the story? What should you do when you see scare stories in the media? You don’t have to wait until the end of your career to stand up for science – hear how you can get involved in the VoYS (Voice of Young Science) programme and the Ask for Evidence campaign.

Paper Writing Alan Jackson I will summarise some of the main issues around the production of scientific publications. I will discuss how to identify your goals in terms of career development and the publications and research that are needed to support you. I will talk about building an appropriate CV to meet your career goals and what issues should be considered before undertaking a research project or programme.

I will try to identify some of the main problems that make people fall and describe how to identify and avoid them.
