I-MED Radiology, The Wesley Hospital Celebrates IASIOS Accreditation
Interventional News, Issue 83
A heartfelt congratulations to The Wesley Hospital as they become Australia’s first IASIOS Accredited facility. Dr. Nicholas Brown celebrates this achievement in the 83rd Issue of Interventional News and provides valuable insight into the programme and its benefits. “The IASIOS accreditation will allow our centre to promote our high standards to patients, referrers and hospital administrators. The process of seeking IASIOS accreditation allowed us to review and critically appraise our existing practices, and to ensure that how we work is aligned with the international standard.” says Dr. Brown.

The IASIOS team is beyond thrilled with the positive media coverage received during our official public launch of the programme. The support and encouragement for interventional oncology as a discipline will accelerate its development and adoption, making minimally invasive treatments for cancer safer, more efficient, and more widely accessible to patients worldwide.
Twelve pioneering hospitals from nine countries successfully participated in the IASIOS pilot phase.

The Standards of Quality Assurance in IO were mentioned in the newly published study by Helmberger et al. (2020):
“While it was outside of the scope of the study to improve the necessary infrastructure for interventional radiology to follow up on their patients, this study provides an opportunity to reflect on the necessity for interventional radiologists to initiate follow-up standards and order relevant imaging after TARE. The CIRSE initiative Standards of Quality Assurance in Interventional Oncology is an initiative to improve quality assurance in interventional oncology, amongst which post-intervention follow-ups and imaging are one of the quality standards.”
