Radiopaedia Licenses

Health Education England are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award to Radiopaedia.

The case for direct award can be found on the tender portal.

HEE is seeking a provider to support specific curriculum requirements of HEE Radiology Training Programme.

HEE believes that it is highly unlikely for any other supplier to be able to provide the following skills/tools provided by Radiopaedia as a current supplier for the following reasons:

1.Radiopaedia.org is a rapidly growing open-edit radiology resource primarily compiled by radiologists and radiology residents/registrars and fellows from across the globe. They have open credentials and desire to create a free world-class resource are similar to those of Wikipedia. However, the importance of accurate information means that checks and balances of additions are required for Radiopaedia.org and our editors provide this. They constantly review additions and changes to articles and cases, something that is facilitated by being spread around the globe through a variety of time zones.

2.A Radiopaedia.org supporter is someone who values what we are trying to accomplish, and is willing to help us with small periodic financial contributions to help build: -innovative educational features

-enhanced medical information in the radiology reference section

-enhanced teaching facilities such as new presentation and quiz features

-continuous improvement of the website

-accessibility of radiology information to medical professionals in developing countries

3.Radiopaedia.org is built from two major components:

-articles: collaborative efforts to provide a single atomic page on any and all topics relevant to the practice of radiology

-cases: pages that present a case to the community - these belong to the contributing user although they can be viewed by the community and added to articles, tutorials or quizzes

4. An integral part of Radiopaedia.org is that it is collaborative. As such, articles are written and edited by a great many users over a period of time. Although this can be intimidating at first, the end result is something far more valuable than what can be achieved purely through individual effort. They like properly referenced content with subscription-free (open access) references allowing readers and editors to cross-check the validity of articles and their content.
