Learners will learn how radiology can play a pivotal role in detection by identifying injury patterns that are disproportionately associated with IPV. These include characteristic fracture types, facial and extremity injuries, old or healing fractures. The module will highlight how careful review of both current and prior imaging can uncover subtle but important clues that may otherwise go unnoticed.By the end of this module, the learner will understand the epidemiology of IPV, the clinical and public health importance of early recognition, and the unique opportunity radiologists and radiographers have to identify at-risk patients and help connect them with appropriate support services.📅 Launching late January 2026💻 Online🎓 Education / CPD focusedPlease stay tuned for further information! ...
