ESR Opens Registration for MIR Winter Course

European Society of Radiology (ESR)Management in Radiology, a subcommittee of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), has started registration for its next Winter Course, the Society announced Wednesday. Aimed at administrators of radiology departments, the event will be held from 10-12 January 2008 in Bad Gastein, Austria. Around 60 participants are expected from all over the world.

The course programme, entitled 'Applying Industry Leadership Concepts to Healthcare', will focus on exploring key concepts that can enhance a manager's ability to work effectively within an organisation. The sessions will cover such topics as emotional intelligence, why high performance teams are critical for success, and the keys to successful communication.

ESR is looking forward to holding the event, after it successfully organised the MIR Congress for the first time, in Oxford last October.

For more details on the MIR Winter Course Programme, as well as online registration, please visit the MIR website at www.mir-online.org.
