What our candidates say
'UKRST was hugely beneficial for me for my radiology application. The mock interview provided was truly representative of the real experience and it really helped me prepare adequately for the big day. The WhatsApp group was also very beneficial to ask questions about all aspects of the application and it was good to get accurate answers from trainees. I was very pleased to have ranked well and I received my top preference in London.'
'From the moment I stumbled into UKRST when a trainee mentioned it during my radiology taster week, I have found it to be an incredibly useful and supportive platform. It is easy to take guidance that is informed and reliable for granted when it is free - but I believe this is what makes UKRST so unique compared to other platforms that lack the approachability factor.
My experience has been positive in several aspects - getting prompt responses for pressing questions during the application process, attending a free yet extremely useful 'tips for interview' session after being shortlisted, and the most beneficial of them all - the UKRST mock session.
I not only found the mock to be very smoothly conducted but also thought that the feedback given gave me a huge boost when it came to the actual interview. It was also a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and I could tell that the registrars conducting these sessions understood how pressured candidates felt in the pre-interview phase of this process.
Overall, it was a great experience being supported by UKRST throughout this process, and the mock session I had with them was absolutely critical to my success. Thank you to the wonderful and philanthropic team at UKRST!'
'Thank you so much to the UKRST team for building such an incredible resource for radiology aspirants. The support provided by the team has been truly invaluable throughout the process. In particular, the team have been consistently approachable and patient, always taking the time to answer questions and offer reassurance.
I really appreciated the effort that went into organising webinars and mock interviews to help us prepare.
Thanks to the guidance and encouragement from UKRST, I was fortunate to rank in the top 10% this year and secured an ACF post in radiology!'
'A special thank you to Dr Abeera and Dr Asim – your guidance was invaluable. The UKRST group helped me connect with amazing applicants, and we had the opportunity to practise together and share useful materials.
The webinar was the turning point for me. It gave me a clear understanding of the entire interview process and made everything so much more manageable. The mock interviews, in particular, were extremely helpful. I took the advice I received and applied it directly in my radiology interview – and I truly believe that made a huge difference.
I’m pleased to share that I have received an offer for Clinical Radiology ST1 in the North West – Cheshire and Merseyside scheme, my first choice.
Thank you once again for all your efforts and support.'
'I found UKRST to be an incredibly valuable resource throughout the entire radiology training application process. From the very beginning, the society provided clear and structured guidance on building a strong portfolio, preparing for the MSRA, and succeeding at the interview stage.
What stood out most was the active support and feedback available through the UKRST chat — hearing directly from current trainees and consultants offered real insight and practical advice that made a huge difference. Their willingness to answer questions, review materials, and share personal experiences created a supportive and motivating environment.
Thanks to the guidance and resources offered by UKRST, I was able to approach each stage of the application process with confidence and ultimately secure my first-choice radiology training post. I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone considering a career in radiology.'
'I've found the support from UKRST to be invaluable and a great source of reassurance in times of stress during the radiology application process this year - the team have been accessible and approachable, and I greatly appreciated their efforts in organising webinars as well as the mock interviews. They have been adaptable and helpful particularly in light of recent changes to the interview format such as the clinical station, and their social media group was useful to learn from others' experiences and wisdom. UKRST's support definitely contributed to ranking first nationally and obtaining my dream programme in London!'
'Thanks to the comprehensive interview course provided by UKRST, I felt confident and well-prepared for every aspect of the interview process. The structured approach and insightful tips not only helped me in the interview but also land the job in radiology.
Additionally being part of the radiology prep group offered invaluable support and resources, ensuring I was fully equipped for success. I highly recommend both the interview course and the prep group to anyone pursuing a career in radiology.
Through this group I also made two new friends who prepared with me regularly for the interview. This shows the importance of a team and connections which UKRST helps us to establish.
I scored very well in the prioritisation station and UKRST arranged the webinar for this completely free of Cost.
They did not confuse candidates by preparing them for anything extra like image interpretation which would have taken alot of their time and effort in preparing for something which was unnecessary.
Abeera and Asim also helped me personally in answering my questions regarding portfolio. Whatever they said turned out to be accurate because I scored the same as they said.
I got my top choice in Manchester on the very first day of the offers.
If it wasn't for UKRST, 2 friends that I made via this group and one of my local Radiology Trainee I would have been clueless.'
'This was my first time applying for radiology and I used UKRST every step of the way. The information on MSRA preparation helped me score 600+ and get the interview. Following this their interview preparation webinars and the tips they provided from current trainees was truly invaluable. I used these tips to prepare for the interview and then put this into practice during their mock interviews where I was able to further fine tune my approach. When the new interview formats came out they promptly organised a webinar which helped me to focus on how to approach the prioritisation stations. Overall, all of these resources helped me to get my top choice of job in the North West while ranking 1st nationally for ST3 nuclear medicine and 11th for clinical radiology. I am truly thankful to the whole team and am looking forward to helping future candidates in the coming years!!'
'Thank you UKRST for their amazing support ! Their support throughout application process was incredible, especially during interview preparation. Plus, the camaraderie among members in the group was so helpful! Thanks to everyone in the group, I managed to secure my first choice training post'

In addition to the resources available on the UKRST website and social media platforms, the guidance and support offered by successful candidates were quite helpful throughout the process - from building a portfolio to cracking the interview. I found the detailed and constructive feedback during the mock interview very useful in identifying strengths and areas to improve. I highly recommend the UKRST team because when you choose them, you also choose a team that wants you to win as much as you do!'
'The UKRST team, led by Dr Asim Khan Kabuli, offers exceptional mentorship and support to aspiring clinical radiologists. Their structured sessions guide applicants through the interview season, garnering glowing feedback for its effectiveness.
Beyond interview prep, UKRST fosters the next generation of radiology educators. As a panellist, I saw first-hand its impact on developing exceptional interview and teaching skills. I urge both applicants and trainees to make full use of this valuable opportunity.'
'UKRST is a one stop free resource for any aspiring radiology st1 applicant. They conduct several webinars for st1 applicants. There’s also a what’s app group which is quite useful to get input from current registrars as well. I gained the most from UKRST through the mock interviews with valuable feedback.
Thank you for all the help and support.'
‘Joining the UKRST social media groups was like tapping into a network of radiology experts and future colleagues.
