The Beautiful Brain

Dr Gary Lee, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Stephan Voigt, Consultant Radiologist and Ashlyne Buchan, Senior Radiographer Practitioner provided us with an overview of their research on the Island in a presentation titled ‘The Beautiful Brain and how it may help us understand complex pain conditions.’    There were some spectacular pictures of the brain shown that can be seen the presentation at the bottom of this page.

At this session Members asked a range of questions about healthcare issues including:

• How do we cope with increasing levels of resistance to antibiotics?
• What audits are undertaken to ensure compliance with Trust policies and procedures?
• Why is there no radiotherapy service on the Island?
• What use do we make of agency and locum staff?

It was suggested that we should invite the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS England who both commission services from the Trust along with other national bodies to meet members in the future.  If you would like a particular subject area covered at a future meeting please contact us on 01983-822099 ext  5703 or e-mail membership@iow.nhs.uk.
