“…To support this next generation of radiologists, it may be beneficial to cultivate what Booth et al describe as “a network of research radiologist mentors” [3] within radiology residency programs. Studies focusing on resident research in other programs have found that residents benefit from access to a dedicated resident research director [19],[25] who mentors residents, oversees program structure, and matches resident research interests with appropriate faculty researchers [19].…”

“…Although research is fundamental to the ongoing evolution and success of all medical specialties, radiologists face unique barriers to research that threaten to impede the growth of the discipline and displace radiologists as leaders in their field. A recent consensus report published by Canadian, UK, and U.S. radiologists noted that radiology has fallen behind other specialties when it comes to research participation and publication [3]. Lack of departmental support, the view of radiology as a mere service provider, disrespect of radiology by other investigators and clinicians, and an increasing work load with decreasing time away from clinical duties are all key factors limiting successful research in radiology [3],[4].…”

However, to combat these barriers, it is increasingly important to foster a strong research environment at the resident level with emphasis on innovation, critical analysis, and interdisciplinary collaboration.…”

Formal postgraduate radiology education (residency training) in Nigeria commenced in 1976 at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State. Currently, two postgraduate medical colleges (one national and the other international or regional) are saddled with the responsibility of superintending the training programme. This is a chronicle of the evolution of radiology in Nigeria with emphasis on the current status of the training programme and areas that require improvement. Though the programme has delivered a quality healthcare workforce for the country and the international community since inception, significant but surmountable difficulties still exist. It is hoped that all stakeholders and policy-makers will take note and safeguard the future of the specialty.

“…There are considerable opportunities for the NIHR and the Royal Colleges to work together to make a greater impact in the current challenging environment. The RCR has long recognised the challenges for sustaining academic radiology (7). While the RCR has continued to foster research via the activities of the RCR Academic Committee including grant funding and a network of research mentors (8), closer collaboration with the NIHR is welcomed.…”

Since the inception of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in 2006, the landscape for the delivery of clinical research within the NHS has been transformed. Clinical Radiology has benefitted from funding opportunities for primary imaging research as well as improvements to the supporting research infrastructure to provide imaging for many clinical trials. However, in an increasingly challenging NHS environment, the NIHR and Clinical Radiology have to evolve an effective working partnership to ensure imaging research is sustainable and will make an impact. A number of initiatives have arisen from discussions between the NIHR, the Royal College of Radiologists and stakeholders that will be discussed in this article. It is hoped that these initiatives will be embraced by the imaging community and create a more dynamic sustainable imaging workforce, driving and supporting research and innovation towards future sustainability. Summary of initiatives:  Developing imaging workforce capacity  Improving collaboration between research groups and disciplines  Increasing the number of academic leaders from clinical and allied health disciplines  Creating new and more flexible NIHR fellowships  Supporting new ways for research training e.g. via RCR/NIHR CRN trainee research networks  Funding research sessions for portfolio activity  Incentivising research activity e.g. via RCR/NIHR outstanding researchers' awards for clinical trainees and radiologists  Developing national industry partnerships.
