A U.K.-based radiology website, Radiology CafĂ©, is offering a free collection of notes for the Royal College of Radiologists' (RCR's) Fellows of the RCR (FRCR) first physics examination. They were primarily written primarily by Dr. Sarah Abdulla, an ST5 trainee from Norwich, U.K.

Radiology CafĂ© offers junior physicians advice on applying for clinical radiology training and supports residents in training, according to founder and Editor Dr. Christopher Clarke, a gastrointestinal/hepatobiliary radiology fellow at Leeds Teaching Hospitals.

Clarke is convinced the material is relevant for trainees in the rest of Europe. In addition to the FRCR notes, the site also offers sample anatomy exams.
