You will preferably be in an existing radiology training programme and be eligible for Out of Programme Training.

The diagnostic department is well equipped, with a range of modern imaging equipment across two sites. There are four multislice CT scanners. Further facilities include a modern bi-planar neuro-interventional suite and two interventional cardiology suites.
There are three 1.5T MRI scanners and a specialised extremity MRI scanner. A well-developed nuclear medicine department is on site, with two gamma cameras. There is a trust wide GE PACS. PET-CT is provided on site via a partnership with Alliance Medical Ltd.
As a teaching hospital, we encourage all our staff to participate in teaching and training at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
