RADIOLOGISTS
Our unit is supported by 17 consultant radiologists, including three interventional neuroradiologists, with a combination of NHS Lothian and University of Edinburgh appointments. We also provide core and specialist training for the South East Scotland radiology training programme, with further dedicated INR fellowship positions, and a new HN/DNR post-CCT fellowship (from 2024).
