\u201cAvoid mayhem!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was the theme of the annual Radiology Safety Fair<\/strong> on February 20, hosted by the Radiology Safety Committee. Over 120 visitors attended the event to learn about safety topics in a fun setting \u2013 which featured candy, games, and gift card drawings, and more.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2003, the safety committee\u2019s purpose is to monitor and problem-solve issues within all divisions of UVA Radiology, as well as to increase safety awareness. It includes a member from each modality and work area, with representatives from UVA Medical Center, outpatient services, and the hospital mobility coach.<\/p>\n

The fair itself was a true group effort. Members of the Safety Committee supervised various educational sections about safety topics, with special assistance from Physical Therapy Volunteers Naja Pressley<\/strong> and Nader Bashammakh<\/strong>. And UVA Physical Therapy\u2019s Leslie Wood<\/strong> also provided homemade cupcakes to fuel the learning.<\/p>\n

The event was also an opportunity to recognize a founding member and former chair of the Safety Committee: Vickie Taylor<\/strong> who retired from her position as radiology nurse manager this year. At the Safety Fair, she was honored with the presentation of a Jefferson Cup.<\/p>\n
