Self-Assessment
1. Self-assessment
When completing this section you must read the guidance called 2024 Clinical Radiology ST3 Self assessment guidance. Which can be found on the website. Please go to the Self Assesmsent and verificaition part of the ST3 Clinical Radiology and click on the related pages box 2024 clinical radiology ST3 self assessment guidance.
The 2024 Clinical Radiology ST3 Self assessment guidance includes specific rules about what you can claim and in which section, however, please note the following major points:
– Evidence submitted after application period – you will be contacted soon after applications close with details about how to upload your evidence There is no need to supply your evidence at the time of application, although you can use this time to prepare documentation ready for upload; the anticipated dates for applicant upload can be found in the applicant guide.
– Completed achievements only – you can only claim on the basis of achievements completed at point of submission of your application. An achievement gained even on the day after the closing date for applications cannot be counted.
– Scores reviewed after submission – your application score will be reviewed based on the evidence that you submit; this could lead to your score being increased or reduced. However, you cannot amend this section after you have submitted your application should you have made a mistake, or gained an achievement after the submission of your application; although evidence verification may see your score uplifted if your evidence justifies a higher score.
– Score honestly – Evidence verifiers will be aware that it will not always be clear exactly which option to choose and so will not treat most cases of perceived over-claiming as a serious offence. The most likely outcome is that the score will be adjusted accordingly. However, any instances of candidates blatantly or persistently trying to gain an unfair advantage by over-claiming scores for and/or exaggerating their achievements will be taken extremely seriously.
The questions below require you to select the most appropriate achievement from each section. If you have more than one achievement in an area which only allows you to choose an option for one, e.g. qualifications or achievements, you should select the option corresponding to your highest scoring achievement.
The complete self assessment guidance for Clinical Radiology ST3 is on the website and attached to the advert.

What is a presentation?
‘Presentations’ referred to here are oral presentations, with or without slides, in front of an audience of healthcare professionals.
These can be of anything related to medicine, typically a case or case series, research or other topic. It would normally be expected to include a question and answer session.
Posters
The options also allow for posters, if a poster is shown without an accompanying oral presentation you can still claim points in line with the relevant statement below.
‘Shown’ should be considered to mean a significant role in the production and content of the poster and attendance at any question and answer poster session during the conference/meeting at which it is displayed.
What if I did not personally present or show a poster?
If you were a significant contributor to a presentation but did not personally present it, you can only claim points if this was in a national or international medical meeting choosing the relevant option below.
In the case of a poster, if you did not ‘show’ the poster but played a significant role in the production and content, as with presentations, you can only claim points where this was for a national or international medical meeting.
What is a medical meeting?
Typically this will be an audience of doctors and/or other healthcare professionals attending away from their normal place of work for which attendees will be undertaking continuing professional development.
The exception to this is the option for a local meeting where the audience is predominantly internal to that workplace.
