In this episode, Tina speaks with Dr Nishanth Sivarasan, Consultant Cardiothoracic Radiologist, and Dr Anum Pervez, newly appointed Consultant in Breast and Gynaecological Radiology, both based at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.

The conversation focuses on why radiology has become such a popular career choice, how different subspecialties shape work–life balance, and the realities behind the stereotype of radiologists spending their working lives in ‘dark rooms’.

Nish and Anum also reflect on the challenges of the role, including diagnostic uncertainty and the growing role of AI in imaging – sharing practical advice and honest insights from their own experiences.
