Kestral was recently in attendance as a sponsor and participant in the 8th Annual Scientific Meeting of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapists (ASMMIRT) at the Adelaide Convention Centre, located in the Adelaide CBD by the River Torrens.

The aim of ASMMIRT is to bring together a range of CT and MRI radiographers for a programme dedicated to knowledge where they can compare techniques - and diagnostic radiographers and radiation therapists can learn more about each other’s roles to facilitate a smooth planning of treatment for patients. The conference offers professionals exciting learning opportunities alongside social events for rest and recreation.

In attendance at the Kestral booth for ASMMIRT this year were Andrew Waddingham, Lyn Gannon and Karin McCullough. From the booth, they were given a fantastic opportunity to showcase the comprehensive functionality and features in the latest version of Karisma, including Order Entry and Patient Recalls. Attendees of the conference displayed a good deal of interest in Karisma, but also in the novelty stress relief bones and card holders offered at the booth – with word spreading quickly and attracting more visitors.

Andrew Waddingham says,

“We were very proud to be a sponsor of this event, which enabled us to showcase Karisma to a different medical imaging demographic. Having the opportunity to mix with a large number of students gave us great exposure to the potential decision makers of tomorrow … and the stress bones were a hit!”

Kestral would like to thank the organisers of ASMMIRT and the people who came to see Karisma in action. We see conferences such as this which bring Health professionals together and give them a chance to exchange ideas, as a valuable experience of which we enjoy being a part.
