Clinical radiology: UK workforce census 2016 report

This report underlines the situation in UK radiology, with the ongoing shortage of imaging doctors making late hospital diagnoses and delayed scan results a very real likelihood for patients. It finds that, in 2016, the NHS paid out an estimated £88 million for out-of-hours reporting of X-rays and scans, while nearly two-thirds of vacant radiologist posts sat empty for 12 months or more. It also highlights the UK-wide problem of not have enough imaging doctors to fill hospital vacancies.ReportRoyal College of Radiologists - news
