Become a RadReach mentee

For the purpose of this initiative, widening participation characteristics may include, but are not limited to lived experience of underrepresentation relating to: 

• ethnicity (including people from ethnic minority backgrounds (1))
• special educational needs (SEN)
• disability
• speaking English as an additional language
• being estranged from both parents or guardians
• being in care or otherwise in need
• caring responsibilities
• coming from a background where neither parent is in a skilled profession
• coming from a background where neither parent has attended university
• experience of economic disadvantage, including eligibility for free school meal
• being an international medical graduate currently working in the UK

(1) We recognise that language relating to ethnicity is evolving and that people and communities may use valid different terms to describe their identities. For the purposes of this initiative, and in line with Office for National Statistics guidance, this document uses the term “people from ethnic minority backgrounds” to support a shared understanding, referring to ethnic groups other than White British. This terminology is used as a practical classification rather than a statement about identity, and is adopted to maintain consistency with national data standards and reporting frameworks.

Visit the Widening Participation Medics Network for further information.

As a mentee, you will have the opportunity to:

• find out about life as a clinical radiologist or clinical oncologist
• receive impartial advice and guidance through a supportive relationship
• reflect on your practice and improve your self-confidence.

They will close on 18 May 2026.
