Medical Leadership Council
As a company founded by radiologists, we understand the right support can make all the difference to you and your patients. That’s why radiologists remain at the heart of what we do.
Our global team of Clinical Directors together form the Medical Leadership Council, promoting, supporting and mentoring our radiologists, ensuring the highest standards, sharing learning and providing direction at the highest levels of the business. Together we care deeply about the role Everlight plays now and in the future supporting radiology services across multiple geographies to deliver the best outcomes for our patients. We strive to continuously develop our healthy active community of radiologists, each individual with their own bespoke needs and circumstances, but working together to support each other and our patients.
At a time when circumstances have led many to re-evaluate their work-life balance, Everlight is a haven where we welcome colleagues, enable them to work at their best, flexibly in time and geography, and develop a true career.
