Trainee Survey
Do you want to help improve paediatric radiology training and how it is delivered?
Then tell us what you think about your own paediatric radiology training, and how it could be improved through our national trainee survey! It only takes 5 minutes and will help us understand the needs of trainees nationwide.
If you are no longer a trainee, please help us disseminate amongst your department. The link for the trainee survey is: BSPR Trainee Survey 2022 (google.com)

The junior BSPR forum have started hosting monthly journal club events in collaboration with Great Ormond Street Hospital, London. Tune in each month to learn how to critically appraise the literature, discuss the latest research and read up to date paediatric radiology articles.
Details are available on the junior BSPR forum website, or you can email [email protected] to register your interest and get sent the articles for reading each month.
