ST1 Clinical Radiology - Where to apply

Applying to England, Scotland and Wales

Many doctors choose where to apply based on geographical location.  Common issues to consider include:

• Do you want to be where your friends and/or family are based?
• What type of training scheme do you want to be part of - a radiology academy or more traditional scheme?
• Do you want to continue training at the same place you did previously?

Where do you want to apply?

As part of the ST1 radiology application, you will be asked to preference your preferred training location.  Below are links to each Local Education and Training Board (LETB) / Deanery.  Click to find out more about the radiology training in each area.  Some deaneries cover more than one training scheme (see table below).

Clinical Radiology Training Programmes

Radiology Academies

Academy teaching at Leeds Teaching Hospitals

In response to the national shortage of Radiologists, the Department of Health and the Royal College of Radiologists developed centres (or academies) dedicated to training more radiologists.  These academy schemes take on more trainees than other schemes of similar sizes and teach through a mixture of clinical experience, tutorials, simulators, imaging banks, and classic teaching methods.  More academies have recently been set up to help improve and facilitate radiology training.
