NHS Ayrshire and Arran is taking part in the campaign to increase the number of radiologists in work.

Nine boards are looking to fill vacancies through targeted advertising across the globe in a bid to raise the number of radiologists by 10%.

Together they are investing £4m in a radiology transformation programme to improve patient services.

The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) described the move as a "much-needed international drive to boost radiologist numbers".

Ayrshire and Arran, Dumfries and Galloway, Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Lanarkshire, Forth Valley, Fife, Grampian, Highland and Tayside are the health boards taking part.

Health secretary Shona Robison said: "The campaign highlights the benefits of living in Scotland and working for our NHS, and it demonstrates our commitment to a vibrant, dynamic and outward-looking health service, staffed by some of the very best clinicians from around the world.

"We are determined to recruit and retain the best and the brightest in order to deliver sustainable health services for the people of Scotland."
