This is awful. The NHS cut the number of radiology trainees between 2022 and last year. 4011 qualified doctors applied for just 356 jobs in radiology last year. That means we turned away 3655 doctors whilst scans are piling up. Cuts to training numbers don’t help anyone.
New analysis of NHS data shows that from January to September 2025, more than 700,000 scan results were not given to patients within the recommended 28 days. Liz Hand, who received a stage four cancer diagnosis in November last year, explains how 'scanxiety' impacted her. @DrAmirKhanGP joins her as he shares his tips on how to manage scanxiety.

🔥 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 -#WASHOUT featured in @Telegraph 🩸WASHOUT is the largest study to date investigating the management of emergency haematuria with 8,500+ patients across >350 hospitals globally 🔍 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝: 🩻 Patients who did not receive investigations or appropriate treatment were 2.5× more likely to die within three months. 🧬 Approximately one quarter of patients were found to have an underlying cancer. ⏰ For patients with underlying cancer, those having investigations within 48 hours received a diagnosis within one day on average, compared with ~3 weeks for those discharged without investigation. 🏥 Lack of investigation is associated with longer hospital stays. ❓𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Emergency haematuria is a prevalent urological emergency accounting for at least 15% of all urological emergency admissions in the UK and 10% readmitted within 30 days. Despite this, there are no standardised guidelines for management. 
 🔑 Prompt investigation is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞: 🔗 Check out the full article: lnkd.in/e8aFwJua 🎥 Watch the full interview, featuring our Co-Chief Investigator, @NikitaB0709, on @Uroweb EAU TV lnkd.in/eDV9eKuJ 👀 Full results will be out very soon - watch this space!
