Clinical Radiology 2030
15 Nov 2013
The recent past has seen a step change in the role of radiology in healthcare. Much of this has been due to the major developments within the specialty itself. However, there are other powerful drivers for change that will have a major influence on the future of radiology. These drivers are outwith health science itself and include the changing population demography, economic challenges and changes in culture. Added to this there are the technological advances that are making the world a smaller place and changing the way we communicate.
Although it is not possible to predict the future with accuracy, there is no doubt that radiology will need to adapt to these drivers. The role of the radiologist is under threat, but with all threats come opportunities for developing the specialty into the future.
This video will explore how these various drivers may influence how we provide diagnostic imaging services in the future.
