Clinical radiology
Our specialties
Working together to meet the needs of members and patients, now and in the future.
LEARN MOREThe Royal College of Radiologists supports excellence in medical imaging and cancer knowledge, treatment and care.
We collaborate impartially with our members and external parties from across the medical industry, refining the latest research and guidelines into relevant applications for radiologists and oncologists. This work can be carried out efficiently because resources and processes are shared across our two faculties.
This enables us to educate and support doctors effectively throughout their career, providing practical guidance, training and assessment. In turn, input from our members, through academic contributions, professional consultation and mentorship, drives the College forward.
Both our faculties work to promote clinical oncology and clinical radiology on a wide platform of activities, setting standards for entry and practise, and leading and supporting clinicians during their careers.
