Review of Future Funding Arrangements for DI
RANZCR was invited to provide a submission to the interdepartmental committee (IDC) regarding the review of future of Medicare funding for diagnostic imaging. This process will feed into the Budget 2009/10. The key issues for the submission were:
Pathway for Admission to Fellowship for Long Standing Educational Affiliates
A new process leading to College Fellowship is currently under review for those radiologists and radiation oncologists (usually being College Educational Affiliates) who obtained their specialist qualifications overseas and who already have either: (i) full specialist recognition (specialist registration in Australia); or (ii) registration within a vocational scope of practice (in New Zealand).
TGA Alert: Serious adverse events identified in Queensland with the use of Peripherally Inserted Cen
The TGA has issued a web alert in relation to a particular peripherally-inserted Central Venous Catheter (PICC) following complications reported in a small number of cases in Queensland when parts of a guide wire used to install the device remained within the patient.
