These Imaging Academy facilities will provide enhanced training opportunities for a greater number of radiology trainees supporting expansion in training numbers, in addition to providing high quality radiology teaching for other health professionals in the trust and across the local ICS.
“ELTH are delighted to host a prestigious NW Imaging Academy site – the Radiology Academy @ELHT. It enables us to be at the forefront of diagnostics training, facilitating the development of specialist knowledge and skills within the region and equipping the next generation of health professionals to deliver safe, personal, and effective care to the Northwest."
