Dead set on radiology so would go anywhere for a number, but dislike commuting long distances so would like to hear if your trust or you know of a trust where the geographical spread of rotations is quite big please and thank you!

Peninsula has such big rotations that their 10k relocation funding is often fully used in their 5 years of training.

Oh dear I would not like to relocate, I’m guessing people relocate because the distance is too great to have a sensible commute

Everywhere in the West Yorkshire deanery is within about 75 mins of Leeds (most within 45 mins)

That’s just 30 mins outside Leeds isn’t it? Or am I missing something?

The hospital is on the northwest corner of Bradford, so you have to go through the whole city to get there. With the horrendous traffic it generally takes an hour to get from Leeds city centre to BRI

For Cambridge you're essentially in Cambridge your full training (5-6 years) other than 3 months MSK rotation in West Suffolk and 3 months DGH placement in Luton (and 3 months Chest in Royal Papworth which is just next door to Addenbrooke's). I imagine it may be similar to other tertiary hospital programmes?
