NHS England has been working with Public Health England, the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) and The British Society of Breast Radiology on this matter. The RCR is planning to undertake a survey this spring of all breast imaging services to evaluate the current and future workforce and service needs. We will work with Health Education England to support workforce development and change as needed for this area of radiology.
