Deevia’s Research Bursary journey is a brilliant example of what BSIR funding can help make possible.

Through the BSIR Educational and Research Bursaries, members can apply for support to develop projects that strengthen interventional radiology practice, improve patient care and contribute valuable research to the NHS.

Available funding includes:

Research Bursary up to £15,000
Educational Bursary up to £5,000
Robert Bardsley Bursary up to £1,500

Applications for the 2026 bursaries are now open to BSIR Full, Trainee, Nurse and Radiographer members.

If you have a project, idea or area of research you would like to explore, this could be the support you need to get it moving.

Applications must be submitted by midnight on Friday 10th April 2026.

Watch Deevia’s video to hear more about the impact a BSIR Research Bursary can have.

Registration is now open for the BSIR Registrar Study Day 2026, taking place Thursday 11th June, 09:00–17:00, delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams.

Following the success of last year’s event, which welcomed over 70 delegates, this year’s programme focuses on non-vascular and oncological interventions, with content specifically designed for ST4–ST6 trainees and early‑career consultants.

The day complements the EBIR curriculum and covers areas where trainees may have limited exposure, including complex biliary, urinary and GI interventions, oncological ablation and embolisation, vertebral interventions, and a dedicated session on preparing for consultant posts. All sessions will be delivered by an experienced faculty using a case‑based teaching format throughout.

If you would like to view recordings from last year’s Registrar Study Day, these are available via the BSIR Learning Zone. Registration fees:

£10 – BSIR members
£50 – Non‑members

For any queries, please contact Taha Shiwani or Tara Al‑Rubyee, BSIR Education & Training Committee Trainee Representatives, at t.shiwani@nhs.net or tara.alrubyee@gmail.com.

Paediatric IR UK will be held on 18th May at IET Birmingham Austin Court, featuring expert speakers, dedicated paediatric content, and a specialist AHP session.
