• Intervention - image‑guided procedures (biopsies, drainages, vascular access, oncological intervention) with consultant supervision as appropriate.
• Subspecialty development - exposure to neuroradiology, MSK, breast, cardiac and paediatric imaging depending on service configuration.
• MDT working - regular input to cancer and specialty MDTs, informing safe, evidence‑based care.
