JOIN US IN BRIGHTON FOR BSIR 2024!

The BSIR Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) promises to be a unique event with both inaugural and revisited sessions not seen at the ASM for many years.

In addition to the fantastic poster and scientific sessions, with presentations from the ever-growing community of academic IRs producing high quality trial data, the ASM is honoured to host representatives of the Canadian, Indian and South African IR societies. The international IR session will bring together colleagues from around the world to share experiences of delivering IR services in different geographies to our comparatively tiny island but also explore topics of sustainability and training as well as common service delivery challenges and clinical conundrums.

Following on from previous years’ successes we have a packed masterclass itinerary with ranging topics from, nerve blocks to lymphatic intervention, portal venous to paediatric access and advanced imaging to radiation protection. This last topic is a crucially important focus for our community to protect ourselves, our colleagues and our patients.

The Scientific Programme Committee are also grateful for the quality of scientific studies and case reports submitted to the ASM and we have created a bespoke IR morbidity and mortality meeting on Friday morning: this will be an unmissable event, we encourage everyone from all disciplines to come with an open mind, and use this as a time to reflect, learn and discuss the most difficult cases submitted this year.

Finally, the social programme is brimming with great networking, relaxation and wellness events!

We would like to thank the BSIR and CIRSE teams for all their support in putting the programme together. Have a wonderful ASM and see you in Brighton!
