ABSTRACT
AIM:
Training structure in neuroradiology can be variable, nationally and internationally. Globally, there is a trend towards standardised training pathways, curricula and targeted competencies. Currently, there is limited understanding of the structure of neuroradiology training in the UK. This survey aims to [1] identify different contemporary models of neuroradiology training in the UK, [2] compare UK trainees' commitments against national and international standards, and [3] understand whether career expectations match the predicted future demands of neuroradiologists. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A survey was developed after consultation with BSNR and UKNG representatives. The eligibility criteria included current neuroradiology trainees in the UK with at least 3 months of experience or had recently completed neuroradiology training, but less than 18 months had elapsed since achieving a certificate of completion of training.RESULTS:
A total of 50 trainees responded to the survey; 26 (52%) diagnostic neuroradiologists (DNRs) and 24 (48%) interventional neuroradiologists (INRs) with an overall mean age of 33 years. The mean duration of training at the time of survey was 18 months. The survey details trainee demographics, experience at work, research and teaching commitments and future goals.CONCLUSION:
Most respondents are satisfied with their training and 90% want to remain in the UK after completion of training. There is room for improvement but the future of training and working in neuroradiology seems promising internationally, with ever-evolving techniques and developments. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Advances in knowledge This study evaluates neuroradiology training in the UK to enhance the training of future neuroradiologists, and safeguard the future of the speciality.
