Abstract:
Clinical radiology has always been one of the most competitive specialties in UK. Due to the increasing demand for radiology services the number of training posts in the UK has been increased. Clinical radiology training takes 5 years and requires completion of the Fellowship of Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) exams, adequate evidence to demonstrate completion of the curriculum and successful appraisals. On completing training and receiving the Certificate for Completion of Training (CCT) a select proportion of trainees choose to embark on a fellowship program. This gives trainees the opportunity to further develop their subspecialty interest generating a high level of confidence in diagnostic and procedural skills.
