The formal training and education of trainee clinical photographers started in Cardiff in 1969. Between 1974 and 1995 the trainees' foundation knowledge and skills were taught in purpose built accommodation, but since then has been in the main department, the Media Resources Centre, at the University Hospital of Wales. Prior to 1990 the trainee intake undertook the British Institute of Professional Photographers (BIPP) Qualifying Examination in Medical Photography, and between 1990 and 2001 they undertook this together with the Master of Science (MSc) in Medical Illustration. In preparation for state registration the Postgraduate Certificate (PGC) in Medical Illustration was developed with content that was appropriate to new entrants into the profession, and trainees were registered for this rather than the MSc in Medical Illustration. Since 2003 the on-job training scheme has been developed to follow a more formal structure closely integrated with the PGC. The authors describe the rationale for and implementation of these changes.

A Training Programme for Clinical Photographers – The Cardiff Experience

This paper gives the definitions, and describes the application, of a classification system for photographic veracity relating to medical and forensic images. It uses practical examples to demonstrate the reasons and parameters for using such a system. It also calls for continued discussion on what the limits and extent should be for the parameters.A debate encompassing the advantages and disadvantages of manipulating photographs goes back well before the introduction of digital imaging and has continued since the introduction of photography in the mid-nineteenth century. This author's first foray dates back twenty years.The introduction of digital imaging only gave the debate new impetus and new problems to solve, some of which might be resolved as suggested in this paper.

Applying a verification classification system to medical and forensic digital images.

This paper describes the development of a specialist forensic post‐mortem room, complete with digital imaging facilities, by the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. It gives the background to the development of the facility, and briefly details the specifications before discussing the use of digital imaging in evidence and the need for a full‐time specialist forensic medical photographer.
