Venue:

This event will provide a vital update on non-accidental injury (NAI) imaging.

Divided into three sections, the day will offer a thorough overview of this important topic.

Session 1 will consist of a review of classical skeletal and body injuries, including differential diagnoses and controversies. This is followed by a medicolegal session in which HHJ Tolson QC will speak about the courts, and conduct a mock courtroom scenario. Finally, the third session will look at head injury in non-accidental injury, including a pathologist’s and neurosurgeon’s perspective.

Educational aims and learning outcomes:

To refresh delegates in NAI imaging procedures and protocols
To help delegates understand the general imaging approach during investigations in NAI
To highlight what we are doing well and what we are doing badly
For delegates to appreciate the role of the medical expert and court system and to better understand how to formulate reports for the courts and medicolegal system
