Congratulations to Dr. Gerbert van Dijk and past graduates Hayden Grech and Jake Axisa on having their research accepted for poster presentations at the Joint FARO-ESTRO Congress: ESTRO meets Asia 2026 in Singapore! 👏

Dr. Gerbert van Dijk attended the congress on behalf of the Department of Radiography, University of Malta, presenting findings from these two studies:

📊 Patient-Centered Care in External Beam Radiotherapy (Hayden Grech & Dr. Gerbert van Dijk) – Evaluated patient experiences during radiotherapy in Malta to improve overall care quality.

🥗 Lifestyle Patterns During Radiotherapy (Jake Axisa & Dr. Gerbert van Dijk) – Assessed hydration, sleep, and physical activity levels to help tailor patient support.

Proud to see our department’s research featured on the international stage! 🌟

🎉 Massive congratulations to our PhD candidate Duncan Munro and co-authors on their recent publication in the Radiography Journal 📚✨

This paper addresses a crucial step for the future of medical imaging: establishing clear Learning Outcomes (LOs) for Artificial Intelligence (AI) education in radiography. 🧠💻

By gathering insights from existing literature and structuring them according to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) model of Knowledge, Skills, and Competences (KSCs), this research provides a vital blueprint for embedding AI into existing educational frameworks. The study highlights the importance of tailoring these outcomes to specific AI-related roles and emphasizes the need for ongoing research to prioritize educational stages.

Incredibly proud of this contribution to both radiography education and clinical practice. Outstanding work! 🌟👏
