Virtual Autopsy UK attend the SORSA-IAFR Congress

Representatives from Virtual Autopsy Global Solutions recently attended the prestigious SORSA-IAFR 2025 Congress, held from September 5 to 7 at the Century City Conference Centre in Cape Town, South Africa. This international joint initiative, organised by the Society of Radiographers of South Africa (SORSA) and the International Association of Forensic Radiographers (IAFR), brought together professionals from across the globe to explore the latest technological advances in radiography. The event served as a critical platform for Virtual Autopsy Global Solutions to engage with the international community and contribute to the evolving landscape of forensic imaging.

The congress featured a comprehensive academic program covering diverse themes such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) in imaging, ethics, and the role of forensic imaging in human rights investigations . Ash Govind of Virtual Autopsy Global Solutions described the event as an "excellent" opportunity to learn and share knowledge on forensic radiography. Attendees noted that the congress was exceptionally well-organised and well-attended, facilitating meaningful connections with friends and colleagues from around the world through its hybrid format of face-to-face and virtual presentations.

Following the conclusion of the formal sessions, Ash Govind and Darren Brown took the opportunity to experience the local culture and landscapes of South Africa. Their itinerary included enjoying the vibrant atmosphere at the historic Newlands Cricket Stadium in Cape Town and travelling to Johannesburg for a unique round of golf on a course famously surrounded by wild animals. This blend of professional development and memorable personal experiences highlighted the success of their visit to the region, reinforcing the global reach and collaborative spirit of the forensic radiography community.
