Summary

This study looked at whether online training can improve how well emergency department doctors interpret CT head scans. 173 clinicians from 6 UK hospitals took part. One group received training early, while a control group got it later. The goal was to see if training boosts accuracy and confidence, without changing patient care since doctors still relied on radiologists' reports.
