Applying for Radiology

Entry into interventional radiology occurs at an ST4 level.

Trainees must first obtain a Clinical Radiology position at ST1, and once core radiology training has been completed, apply locally for ST4-ST6 training in IR. Each deanery their own local application process for IR selection, although London training schemes are conducted via a pan-London application scheme.

​

Of recent, there have been direct IR run-through themed Radiology posts that have opened up across the country in places like Nottingham, Wessex, London, Birmingham etc..

Applications for ST1 Clinical Radiology training are becoming more and more competitive each year (11:1 ratio in 2024). Here, we have written a guide on the application process and each of the components within it to help you through the process.
