National Breast Imaging Academy

Breast imaging services across the UK are facing significant challenges as a result of the combination of increasing demand for breast imaging and shortages across all aspects of the workforce.

The National Breast Imaging Academy (NBIA) project is a collaborative, national, multidisciplinary initiative which encompasses a range of solutions to address these issues.  As part of this, we are collaborating with UK experts to produce a range of innovative, online learning resources to provide training, support and CPD for all breast imaging staff, including:

• A new e-LfH programme consisting of over 150 interactive e-learning sessions providing comprehensive coverage of all aspects of breast imaging and relevant aspects of surgery, oncology, pathology, nursing, and risk and prevention.

• A national breast imaging case archive containing tens of thousands of validated cases to support and enhance learning. 

• Online tutorials and other resources on the new e-LfH Learning Hub to support training in breast imaging.
