</p><p>Successful completion of the clinical radiology training programme allows doctors
to join the GMC specialist register.</p><p>In addition to this, the NHS Long Term
Workforce Plan (LTWP) sets out how we will meet the workforce challenges of the future
through increasing recruitment, including doubling medical school training places
and increasing allied health professional training places by a quarter by 2031/32.
The LTWP also sets a path to ensure up to 130,000 fewer staff leave the National Health
Service by improving culture, leadership, and wellbeing. In addition to retention
measures, we will reform and modernise the way staff work, harness new technology
and increase productivity to ensure staff can spend more time with patients. This
will apply to all NHS staff groups, including radiologists.</p>
