Policy Documents
1.Standards for providing 7 day acute care diagnostic service (Dec, 2015)
Policy document laying down the standards expected to be expected by patients by hospitals and organisations providing acute diagnostic imaging services. This paper was edited by Dr S Khan as Chair, of the committee that formulated this document to be used in the four home countries of UK and also followed by the radiology services in the world.
2.Standards on the reporting and interpretation by non-radiologist medical practitioner
Contribution by Dr S Khan, to this policy document of Royal College of Radiologists, incorporating the patient safety elements that was highlighted by his audit on inadequate recording of imaging information in patient records.
3.Sustainable future for diagnostic radiology
Contributed to the work, produced to identify the scope of service delivery that is required, both now and in the future, and to provide suggestions on how the gap between supply and demand might be bridged using the current workforce in a more flexible way and in ways which promote radiologist health.

Research
Projects
Hydrodilation:
Co-applicant on National research on hydrodilation (2019-)- multi centre research being undertaken on this new method of treating frozen shoulder.
Ultrasound Arthrography toes:
Developed innovative diagnostic service(2012-on), with Orthopaedics for management of forefoot pain and toe instability. Streamlined 2 step diagnostic process involving fluoroscopy and MRI,to a single step using ultrasound, which is safer(avoiding radiation), more accessible,cheaper, logistically easier, better outcome and improved patient experience. The outcomes have been shared at international and regional meetings and being adopted by other hospitals. Marker of success is increasing regional referrals and prestigious award at British Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Society (BOFAS), 2014.
Ankle syndesmotic injury:
Prospective research with orthopaedics in the imaging features for evaluation of high ankle sprain (ankle syndesmotic injuries) and comparison with MR arthrogram.
Ultrasound evaluation of SLE:
This is a multi-centre national prospective research, evaluating the use of ultrasound in the assessment of inflammatory findings in SLE patients.

Prizes and Awards
European Society Skeletal Society/International Skeletal Society (ESSR/ISS) prize, 2005.
This prestigious prize was awarded for research on hand bone tumours by the largest skeletal societies in the world, in recognition of the quality and effectiveness of the research, which helped clarify the distinction of benign from malignant bone tumours. I am the only British radiologist receipient of this award to date!
Bronze award, National Clinical Excellence Committee, Jan 2016 and Jan 2020
This is national award recognising the contribution of Consultants striving for excellence across the domains of clinical work, research, management and teaching, across national and international arena.
