X-Ray Interpretation : Upper and Lower Limb 7 October 2026

Duration: 3 Hours
Format: Live Interactive Webinar
Focus: Upper & Lower Limb X-Ray Interpretation
Lecturer: Dr Asad Khan, Orthopaedics Registrar

Course Overview

This 3-hour Red Dot Upper & Lower Limb X-Ray Interpretation Webinar provides healthcare professionals with a practical and systematic approach to interpreting plain radiographs of the upper and lower limbs.

Designed for clinicians working in urgent care, minor injuries units, emergency departments and primary care, the session focuses on recognising common fractures, identifying subtle abnormalities and developing a safe, structured approach to X-ray interpretation.

The webinar supports clinicians working within UK professional and clinical governance frameworks, including:

• Scope of practice principles relevant to NMC, HCPC and GMC-registered professionals
• Awareness of the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations – IR(ME)R
• Clinical governance and patient safety
• Red Dot systems and escalation pathways
• Documentation, communication and medico-legal accountability

BONUS: Minor Injuries Update Included

Booking a place on the Red Dot webinar also gives delegates access to the afternoon Minor Injuries Update from 13:00–16:00.

The additional 3-hour Minor Injuries Update covers:

• Lower limb injuries – assessment, common presentations and red flags
• Head injuries – assessment, risk recognition and escalation
• Burns – initial assessment, severity, management and referral

This gives delegates the opportunity to combine focused X-ray interpretation training with a broader clinical update on common presentations encountered in minor injuries and urgent care.
