The National Breast Imaging Academy programme is a collaborative, national, multidisciplinary initiative which encompasses a range of solutions to address the severe workforce issues faced in the delivery of breast imaging services across the country. We have developed high-quality training programmes, an innovative, online, technology-enhanced learning hub, and a portfolio of courses and study days. We have also created a dedicated academic teaching space, and a clinical training facility.

The NBIA is funded by NHS England and hosted by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. We work in collaboration with NHS England, the Royal College of Radiologists, the Society and College of Radiographers, the Association of Breast Clinicians, the British Society of Breast Radiology, Breast Cancer Now, and Prevent Breast Cancer.
