This study highlights a growing challenge in UK cerebrovascular training. If trainees focus only on a narrow set of open procedures, they risk becoming technicians rather than clinicians managing complex disease. Future clinicians must gain a broad toolkit,including endovascular and radiosurgical skills, the ability to weigh short- and long-term trade-offs to offer meaningful choices for patients and the health service. Without this, they risk being relegated to administering care pathways rather than shaping them. To keep clinicians at the heart of cerebrovascular care, training must equip them to lead decision-making, adapt to evolving technologies, and contribute fully to multidisciplinary care
