Interventional radiology (IR) training in the UK has evolved since recognition as a subspecialty in 2010 and introduction of a new curriculum in 2021. The changing landscape, increasing workload and COVID-19 have affected training. The purpose of this study was to review trainees' perspectives on training and develop strategies to further improve training.
Online survey approved by the British Society of Interventional Radiology Council distributed to British Society of Interventional Radiology Trainee members between 9 March 22 and 25 March 2022. The survey was open to all UK based ST4-6 IR trainees and fellows. Descriptive and thematic analysis was undertaken.
43 responses were received from 17/19 UK training regions. Females represented 10% (4/41) and 5% (2/43) less than full time (LTFT) trainees. 82% (31/38) felt their curriculum was suitable for their training and 28/38 (74%) were satisfied with IR training. Vascular IR, Interventional Oncology, paediatrics and stroke thrombectomy were identified as areas of training desiring improvement. 45% (18/40) stated exposure to IR led clinics and 17.5% (7/40) to IR led ward rounds. Only 6/38 (15.7%) received structured IR teaching at least once a month. Approximately, a third of respondents (13/38) stated training opportunities were significantly compromised secondary to COVID-19.
This survey shows overall good satisfaction with IR training. However, improved training opportunities in vascular IR, interventional oncology, paediatric IR and stroke thrombectomy are required. In addition, access to clinics, ward rounds and protected time for research is needed to improve training quality.

自 2010 年被承认为亚专科以及 2021 年引入新的课程以来，英国的介入放射学（IR）培训一直在发展。不断变化的格局、工作量的增加和 COVID-19 都对培训产生了影响。本研究旨在回顾学员对培训的看法，并制定进一步改善培训的策略。
2022 年 3 月 22 日至 25 日，通过英国介入放射学会理事会批准的在线调查向英国介入放射学会学员成员分发。该调查面向所有在英国的 ST4-6 级 IR 学员和研究员。进行了描述性和主题分析。
从英国的 19 个培训区中收到了 43 份回复。女性占 10%（4/41），低于全职（LTFT）学员占 5%（2/43）。82%（31/38）认为他们的课程适合他们的培训，28/38（74%）对 IR 培训感到满意。血管介入放射学、介入肿瘤学、儿科和中风取栓术被确定为需要改进培训的领域。45%（18/40）表示接触过介入放射学主导的诊所，17.5%（7/40）接触过介入放射学主导的病房查房。只有 6/38（15.7%）至少每月接受一次结构化的 IR 教学。大约三分之一的受访者（13/38）表示，由于 COVID-19，培训机会受到严重影响。
这项调查显示，总体上对 IR 培训的满意度较高。然而，需要在血管介入放射学、介入肿瘤学、儿科介入放射学和中风取栓术方面提供更好的培训机会。此外，需要接触诊所、病房查房和为研究提供保护时间，以提高培训质量。
