Episode 4: Different tracks (part one)

In this episode (split into two parts) we talk to radiologists from Scotland, Wales, and England about regional differences in academic training opportunities. In part one, we speak to Michelle Williams (Senior Clinical Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh) and Christina Messiou (Consultant Radiologist at the Royal Marsden Hospital). We discuss how being a frontline NHS consultant can bring your research so much closer to implementation, and how more time and money would solve (nearly) everything. Full show notes are available on the RCR website.
