BSIR Social Media Year in Review
As we enter 2026, we’re celebrating the continued growth of the BSIR online community.

Across all platforms, our network now reaches more than 14,200 followers, with LinkedIn showing the strongest increase as more professionals engage with BSIR updates, events and educational content.

This year we saw higher visibility than ever, with LinkedIn impressions rising by over 55 percent and video content becoming our most impactful format for supporting learning and professional development. Campaigns such as the Influential Interventionist and the Active Learning Zone helped us share more member stories, trainee insights and event highlights.

Thank you to everyone who has engaged with our posts, contributed content and helped strengthen the voice of Interventional Radiology online.

We look forward to building on this momentum in 2026.
