This Month is Cyber Security Awareness Month. Something that AXREM members have taken on board as a serious issue to address within our industry. The healthcare IT sector, with its complex digital infrastructure and critical service nature, stands as a prime target in the evolving cyber threat landscape, offering numerous entry points for exploitation by malicious actors. Our Cyber Security working group published a paper on the topic back in July you can download it from our website here >> https://lnkd.in/dgw37-xy #AXREM #CYBERSECURITY

AXREM Announces New Ultrasound Special Focus Group Convenor AXREM are also pleased to announce that Nicola Fishwick, Business Development & Omnichannel Wave Leader Ultrasound at GE HealthCare has been appointed at the new Convenor of the AXREM Ultrasound Special Focus Group. Nicola will also represent the group on the AXREM Executive Committee to ensure that Ultrasound is considered within the strategic priorities and direction of the association. The Ultrasound special focus group is one of the smaller groups in AXREM but also one of the most proactive, having worked on a number of projects over recent years including a used equipment checklist, and guidance around the decontamination of transducers, giving Nicola a great basis to build upon and continue to lead the work done by the group. The group have also collaborated extensively with the BMUS (British Medical Ultrasound Society), The Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), and this has been key to the work. The perfect combination of individual patient care carefully wrapped in cutting-edge technology drove Nicola Fishwick to pursue a career in Diagnostic Radiography. This quickly rolled into Diagnostic Ultrasound when a rare training post became available at Whiston Hospital. A passion for technology and driving technology adoption guided Nicola into the commercial environment initially as a Clinical Application Specialist. The hand-eye-brain coordination needed for ultrasound together with the ever-expanding addressable clinical care areas and rapidly evolving technological capabilities has always been Nicola’s area of interest. Having held various roles at major manufacturers during her now 17-year commercial career, Nicola is delighted to be appointed the Convenor for the AXREM Ultrasound Special Focus Group. Nicola is looking forward to convening the group which has recently been refreshed with new memberships and representatives. Nicola commented “Working together with AXREM on behalf of the whole industry is my absolute privilege and I am excited for this next chapter and driving new workstreams for 2025”.  The Vice Convenor role will be continued to be fulfilled by Tim Palarm, Regional Manager South at Canon Medical Systems Europe. Sally Edgington, AXREM Chief Executive Officer said “I am really pleased to welcome Nicola to this role and look forward to working with her to see how we can further develop the work of this group, the collaborations and partnerships”. The announcement comes after the incumbent Convenor Roy Tappin, General Manager at GE Healthcare has completed two terms and over 4 years as the Convenor. Roy will continue to be an active member of the AXREM Executive Committee. Read in full here: https://lnkd.in/eudtJFyF

Friday Fun! Before we break for the weekend tell us your best medical based/ doctor doctor joke. Here's another to get you started You might be an A&E doctor if… ✔️Your favourite hallucinogen is exhaustion. ✔️You think that caffeine should be available in IV form. ✔️You get an almost irresistible urge to stand and wolf your food even in the nicest restaurants. ✔️You believe the waiting room should be equipped with a Valium fountain. ✔️You have ever had a patient look you straight in the eye and say “I have no idea how that got stuck in there”. ✔️Your most common assessment question is “what changed tonight to make it an emergency after 6 (hours, days, weeks, months, years)? #AXREM #Healthcare

It really is something we need to talk about. Part of the invisible disability group it is often hard for those around you to know there is anything wrong and masking is common for people dealing with poor mental health.
