The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR)

The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) is a charity that works with their members to improve the standard of medical practice across the fields of radiology and oncology. With faculties in two disciplines, the RCR and their members benefit from a fuller understanding of medical practice, across the spectrum of diagnosis and treatment.

They collaborate impartially with their members and external parties from across the medical industry, refining the latest research and guidelines into relevant applications for radiologists and oncologists. This work can be carried out efficiently because resources and processes are shared across their two faculties.

This enables us to educate and support doctors effectively throughout their career, providing practical guidance, training and assessment. In turn, input from their members, through academic contributions, professional consultation and mentorship, drives the RCR forward.

Together, they have been contributing to the advancement of each new generation of doctors for over 40 years.

The RCR's values guide how it achieves its aim of improving the quality of care in clinical radiology and clinical oncology for the benefit of patients and the public. These values underpin how the RCR interacts with its membership and stakeholders and how it works internally.
