‘Being successful in radiology takes hard work. One can’t afford to stay on autopilot in today’s rapidly changing research environments and still expect to remain on top. I believe in a culture of inclusion, purpose, support, and empathy for our consultants, academics, and clinical scientists putting patients in the centre of our work,’ said Prof. Bisdas.
