Specialty training

The RCR plays a major role in the training of clinical and interventional radiologists, setting the standards and curriculum that lead to the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) and entry onto the GMC's Specialist Register.

Throughout training the RCR supports trainees to gain the skills required to develop and deliver a comprehensive radiology service. This section aims to provide all the information that trainees and trainers will need, from enrolling with the RCR at the start of training to entry onto the GMC's Specialist Register and everything in between.

Changes to your training

It is most important that you keep us informed about any changes to your training so that we can advise you and your training supervisors about the effects of these upon your eligibility for the FRCR Examinations and the expected date for the completion of your specialty training.  This includes any changes to the number of sessions per week at which you are training, sickness absence, statutory leave, out of programme activities or training, subspecialty training or changes to your training location.  You can update the RCR on changes to your training through the e-portfolio (please see the user guides for further information).
