The Academic programme in Nuclear Medicine concentrates on functional imaging in the context of investigation of patients, and on research related to the techniques used and the evidence of clinical effectiveness. There will be particular links to endocrinology, oncology, and the Neuroendocrine Tumour Unit at the Royal Free Campus. The trainee may also participate in the research programme in the Institute of Nuclear Medicine on the UCLH Campus of UCL. The trainee will thus gain an understanding of the requirements of research in Molecular Imaging in Humans. A wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures (including radiological) are available. There will be specific teaching on the principles and practice of functional imaging and image analysis, and their application both in individual clinical cases and in prospective studies. The trainee will be expected to research issues of utility and selection of nuclear imaging techniques. The goal is to give trainees the opportunity to experience and develop research techniques using the time and facilities in Nuclear Medicine, and to encourage consideration of a career in this field. We expect all three F2s from each year to work on a project that will run throughout the year. Posts 10 & 11 – Neurology and Neuroscience – based at the Royal Free Hospital CODE: UCL/010 F1 F2 See rotation for site Royal Free Hospital General (Internal) Medicine – Endocrinology (Chase Farm) A&E (Clinical Attachment) 4m General Surgery (Chase Farm) 4m Renal (Clinical Attachment) 4m Paediatrics (Barnet) 4m Neurology & Neuroscience (Academic Attachment) 4m 4m CODE: UCL/011 F1 F2 See rotation for site Royal Free Hospital General Medicine – Cardiology (Chase Farm) Renal (Clinical Attachment) 4m General (Internal) Medicine – Geriatrics (Chase Farm) 4m Neurology & Neuroscience (Academic Attachment) 4m 4m General Surgery (Barnet) A&E (Clinical Attachment) 4m 4m The trainees will work in the largest national and regional referral centre for neurological disease. Against a background of unparalleled access to the clinical observation of neurological disease, they can become involved in particular sub-speciality aspects of neurology, and the combined clinical and laboratory investigations of neurological diseases – e.g. chronic neurological diseases such as Motor neuron disease, Parkinson’s disease, and cognitive disorders. Research extends from basic science, molecular biology and neurogenetics of the underlying aetiology of these conditions to cellular and animal modelling of disease, and clinical trials of new pharmacological approaches. The trainees will have an opportunity to participate in a project within one of the associated laboratories.

scleroderma and fibrosis. This is also linked with the National Service for the treatment of primary pulmonary hypertension. There is an excellent post-graduate education within the department covering rheumatology and general medicine, and in particular the trainee would have the opportunity to work at the interface between basic research into fibrosis, and clinical work in systemic sclerosis. Current areas of interest include the role of the epidermis in scleroderma, intracellular signalling mechanisms involved in fibrotic response, regulation of signalling by eicosainoids, and the role of growth factors such as connective tissue growth factor in the fibrotic response. Laboratory expertise with which the trainee can become familiar include many state-of-the-art techniques in cell and molecular biology.

The Royal Free Hospital is the designated centre for PH associated with connective tissue disease, and is a world renowned referral centre for clinical assessment and treatment, as well as ongoing research. Expressions of interest should be directed to Dr Gerry Coghlan (Consultant Cardiologist) & Prof Chris Denton (Consultant Rheumatologist). Post 14 – Infection & Immunity – based at the Royal Free Hospital CODE: UCL/014 F1 North Middlesex Geriatric Medicine 4m Vascular Surgery 4m Endocrinology and Diabetes Mellitus F2 Royal Free Hospital Acute Medicine (Clinical Attachment) 4m ITU / A&E (Clinical Attachment) 4m Infection and Immunity (Academic Attachment) 4m 4m The Department of Infectious Diseases at the Royal Free has developed a range of subspeciality interests that are high on the national health agenda, including hospital-acquired infection and infection control, TB, chronic viral hepatitis and HIV/hepatitis co-infection. In addition, it incorporates a programme of basic research into viral pathogenesis. The Academic F2 would be offered a focussed clinical or laboratory project in the area that interests them, combined with specialist clinical experience in their chosen area that will underpin their research and enable them to understand the wider context for their work. Supervision will be provided by one of the sub-specialist leads, all of who have considerable experience in education and training of academic trainees.
