Medical Director and Consultant Neuroradiologist, DMC Radiology Reporting

Dr Shawn Halpin

In November 2023, Dr Shawn Halpin joined DMC Radiology Reporting with a vision to deliver exceptional audit processes and continuous improvement.

After graduating from King’s College Hospital in 1982, he gained significant experience in neuroradiology, with a particular focus on brain perfusion and complex MRI techniques. He set up and ran the interventional neuroradiology service at University Hospital of Wales for 24 years, significantly reducing mortality/morbidity rates.

In 2008 he completed a master’s degree in law to satisfy his curiosity in medico-legal topics.

With an aligned ethos, Dr Halpin recognises that DMC is different as it is run by doctors and strongly advocates seeking the opinion of a subspecialist to ensure high quality and comprehensive reports, rather than solely relying on generalists.

In his spare time, Dr Halpin likes watching rugby, travelling and spending time with his large family.

“Prioritising the use of subspeciality radiologists to ensure highly accurate, quality and timely reporting.”

Clinical Effectiveness

Clinical effectiveness means ensuring that all aspects of service delivery are designed to provide the best outcomes for patients. This is achieved by ensuring that the right care is delivered to the right person at the right time they are in need and in the correct setting.

Information

A patient’s information should always be up to date and correct on any systems used. It should also be confidential through correct storage and management of data.

Risk Management

Risk Management involves having robust systems in place to understand, monitor and minimise the risks to patients and staff and to learn from mistakes. When things go wrong in the delivery of care, our staff teams should feel safe admitting it and be able to learn and share what they have learnt, which embeds change in practice.

Patient & Public Involvement

Communication with patients and the public is essential to gain insight on the quality of care we deliver, and any possible problems that can result. Public involvement is equally as important to ensure that patient and public feedback is used to improve services into day-to-day practice for better patient outcomes.

Education & Training

This encompasses the provision of appropriate support to enable staff to be competent in doing their jobs and to develop their skills so that they are up to date. Professional development needs to continue through lifelong learning.

Staff Management

This ensures the organisation recruits highly skilled staff and aligns them with the correct job roles. Staff are supported in professional development and to gain and improve their skills.

Audit

The aim of the audit process is to ensure that clinical practice is continuously monitored and that deficiencies in relation to set standards of care are remedied. Research goes alongside audits to pioneer best practice improvements.
