Research for trainees

The Research Certificate Scheme has been introduced to promote radiology research amongst non–academic radiologists. It encourages engagement in research activities, with the reward of a certificate upon successful completion.  

All clinical radiology trainees in non–ACF posts are eligible to participate in the scheme, which should ideally be completed no later than 6 months post-CCT. The scheme is open to consultants and others on a case-by-case basis. 

As the Academic Committee work to develop research resources for trainees, they will be made available through our guidance and advice page. The research ‘recipe book’ aimed specifically at trainees undertaking the research projects as required by the curriculum, is already available. 

There are several research focused awards and Fellowships which are open to trainees, including the Constance Thornton Fellowship and the Kodak Scholarship. The College also has joint funding agreements with the Wellcome Trust, the Medical Research Council and Cancer Research UK.
