Dr. Yousar Jafar

President 2017-19

My name is Yousar Jafar and I am Consultant Radiologist in Nottingham with a subspecialty interest in Women’s Imaging (Breast Screening & Symptomatic and Gynaecological Imaging).

I am extremely passionate about the work trainee led societies do for their members and am delighted to have been elected as the President of The SRT for 2 years from 2017 to 2019 to continue the hard work in making The SRT a dynamic and innovative society.

The society’s ethos is to ‘Foster Excellence in Radiology’ and as President I worked towards making The SRT a society that leads the way in trainee led initiatives as well as to be an innovative forum for Radiology Trainees across the UK. We also collaborate with colleagues from Radiology subspecialty societies/institutions to achieve our educational aims and maintain existing links with our surgical and medical colleagues to ensure that Radiology remains at the forefront of patient care.

The SRT is committed to ensuring we provide a stimulating and exciting Annual Educational Conference but also to be the first port of call for answering any questions related to training and exams. We work in collaboration with the Junior Radiologists’ Forum (JRF) to reach out to as many radiology trainees as possible to engage with our educational events. We have the full support of the Royal College of Radiologists in meeting our objectives and as a committee we are working towards making The SRT an invaluable resource for all radiology trainees and junior doctors who wish to pursue a career in Clinical Radiology.

If you have any ideas for our website or what you would like to see the society do please us at president@thesrt.co.uk

Past President 2020-21

Hi, I’m Cameron, and I am the President of the SRT for 2020-2021. It has been an honour and a privilege to serve the SRT committee ever since my final year of medical school. Having previously served as our Treasurer, Secretary and Foundation Representative, I know how hard our committee works to bring Radiology Trainees a great Conference experience every year.

This past year has produced lots of new challenges. After taking the difficult decision to postpone our 2020 Conference in Manchester, we are very excited to be bringing you our first virtual conference in July this year, and look forward to welcoming you there.

Co-President

I am a Radiology trainee currently based in the North West of England. I was delighted to join the committee in 2018 as a Foundation Representative, I went on to be the Secretary and I am now the societies President. I have presented several posters in Radiology conferences, including the SRT’s 2018 conference, and won the RCR’s Steven Carstairs Essay Prize in 2018. I will be starting my Radiology training in August 2020, having been ranked 54th and offered my first choice post in the Mersey region.

Going from delegate to conference organiser has been a great but challenging experience. I have seen the hard work the committee puts in to creating such a fantastic conference programme. Making the 2021 conference even better than last year was a challenge, but I’m pleased to say the feedback from delegates and speakers has been incredibly positive!

This year and next I hope to use my experience and leadership skills to make the 2023 conference one that Radiology Trainees from all over the UK see as vital to their educational and professional development.

If you have any queries or feedback, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via Twitter or e-mail at president@thesrt.co.uk.
