General description, scope and objectives of this webinar
The programme of this webinar will cover:

• underlining the important role of the radiologist in a patients pathway and as a remaining gatekeeper. 
• why a 360 degree approach that goes beyond the personal interest is relevant for the new positioning of radiologists in the medical world
• how to catch the patient in their first shock and adequately prepare the patient for the next steps and support them in their „new changed life situation“ 
• the power of communication, why communication and timing play a major role between radiologists, patients and other medical specialists
• effective communication on a multidisciplinary level
• need for communication trainings 
• how AI can be used to optimize time for communication and of workflow 
• helpful tools to be implemented to improve communication and personal coping and well being of radiologists having to transmit critical findings.

• To understand the importance of communication, how theoretical knowledge can be transmitted into action and which tools can be used to support radiologists and the patients
• To underline the important role of radiology for the patients. Radiology is a constant companion throughout the whole medical journey. For cancer patients it starts with the radiologist, where the assumptions of other medical specialists my become the patients´ new reality; continue to staging examinations until they undergo radiation therapy. 
• To train communication skills by introducing communication methods as to implement helpful tools
• To increase the visibility trough a 360 degree approach
