Results
Descriptive statistics for the quantitative surveys and thematic analysis of the qualitative analysis of telephone interview transcripts and freetext answers on the surveys:
1)2012 National RCR survey responses of 540 trainees
58% reported they did not have opportunities for leadership and management development during their radiology training.
2)Focused needs analysis of 40 radiology residents and 40 new consultants:
Trainees and new consultants often subjectively lack leadership and quality improvement skills and feel uncomfortable about collaborating with management colleagues.

3)Wider leadership opportunities are present for clinicians but not radiology-specific.
They range from didactic courses through to experiential learning away from a formal medical training programme.
