@vampywitchy @AdamRutherford I’m not sure about the salary - but:

NHS trusts have legal obligations under the equality act. They need to be sure SOPs don’t contravene these obligations. This can be quite complex. Clinical managers often not good at this. So in this context I think these roles are useful

[Neil Powrie @NeilPowrie]

@IanStockport @jabberwock951 It is part of the issue. There’s specifically a shortage of radiologists.

But, if the Xray is abnormal, you usually need a CT, if the Xray is normal, you usually need a CT. So it’s probably more cost effective to go straight to ct.

[Neil Powrie @NeilPowrie]

@IanStockport @jabberwock951 You can absolutely reformat a CT to look like an Xray. But at that point you’ve done a CT - so may as well look look at the full scan.

@debbiegoughhh Ah it’s very good though! Clean vocals particularly. Haunting!

@The_Parson @0Calamity Politely disagree.

@northwoods1980 @john_raseman Not all patients with osteoporosis need treatment. Youngish patients without a hx of fracture for example. In these cases frax is definitely useful re: whether to treat or not.

[Neil Powrie @NeilPowrie]

@northwoods1980 @john_raseman Hi. Sorry did not respond in dec. didn’t realise you had replied for some reason.
There’s nothing on the frax website which suggests it’s not applicable in those with T-scores <-2.5. Happy to be corrected.

It’s not applicable in those on treatment, but that’s a different thing
