Training: The Radiology Department within the Bradford Trust forms part of the West Yorkshire Training Academy in Radiology with rotations of Specialist Registrars. 

 

Trainees on the Scheme usually spend one or two six month periods in Bradford as part of their "basic training" and there are options for both General and Specialist attachments in Bradford during their "higher training". 

There are currently 20 trainees appointed to Bradford at any one time. Radiologists are expected to mentor as Clinical Supervisors and are encouraged to take on Educational Trainees following appropriate training.
