Paul Smyth

Clinical Specialist III Radiographer in charge of a three-roomed Fluoroscopy Suite room. I qualified in 1977 and later obtained the Further Education Teachers' Certificate and HDCR. I perform barium enemas and issue informal reports. I am responsible for vetting most of the fluoroscopy requests. I am part of the Colo-Rectal Cancer Screening group that is considering piloting screening in this area. On a monthly basis I publish an in-house newsletter called FluoroNews and regularly give presentations to staff and students regarding activities and interesting case studies.

Support offered: I am very interested in promoting under- and post-graduate education in Fluoroscopy generally. To really get the best out of Radiographer role development in G-I imaging I think it is vital to understand and reinforce basic principles and knowledge.
