Overview of Radiology in LTHT
The LTHT radiology department is one of the largest in Europe and has an established reputation for clinical innovation and expertise along with a significant teaching and research profile. The department contains one of three national radiology training academies with associated educational facilities and resources for the Leeds Bradford Radiology training scheme. In terms of research the department has helped establish a NIHR funded research 3T MRI as part of the Leeds Biomedical Research Unit contained on trust premises. Within this unit imaging plays a large part in most musculoskeletal projects along with performance of separate radiology specific research.
Recently the department has also been successful in obtaining funding for developing and establishing an academic programme focusing on oncology radiology led by a Professor of Radiology.
The University of Leeds is a major partner in both of these research streams and is looking to expand the latter with specific academic radiology appointments. In terms of University honorary appointments radiology consultants have formed a large proportion of the recently created Honorary Clinical Associate Professor positions.
Research and Education are priorities for the Trust and any new radiology consultant appointed will have the opportunity to explore furthering research and educational possibilities when in post if they wish (please also see 4).
