There is just one week to go until IOUK 2026, and we are looking forward to welcoming the interventional oncology community back together.

In this video, Prof Raj Narayanan from Florida shares his reflections on the 2025 event, highlighting the excellent level of participation and the value of the hands-on workshops.

One of the real strengths of IOUK is the mix of expert-led learning, practical sessions and discussion across all levels of experience. Whether you are a trainee, fellow, early-career doctor or practising interventional radiologist, the event offers opportunities to learn, connect and take practical insight back into your own work.

Description
BSIR Members Webinar Guide
We’d love to invite BSIR members to take a look at the BSIR Webinar Guide for Members and get involved in shaping our future webinar programme. BSIR webinars are always extremely popular and offer a great opportunity to share experience, spark discussion, and shine a light on topics that matter to our community.

If there’s an area you’re passionate about, something that deserves an update, or a subject you feel doesn’t get enough airtime, we would be delighted to hear from you. You don’t need to have done this before, and you certainly don’t need to have all the answers – enthusiasm, curiosity and a good idea are more than enough. The Education & Training Committee will support you every step of the way, from developing the concept to delivering the final event.

Please have a read through the guide and consider submitting a webinar idea. We look forward to working with members to create engaging, relevant and enjoyable BSIR webinars.

IOUK 2026 is one to have in the diary as it is just TWO WEEKS AWAY!!

After joining us at IOUK last year, Professor Naveed Kaira from North India shared his reflections on the event and why he would encourage others to attend in 2026.

He described the meeting as a fantastic experience, with marvellous lectures and a wide spectrum of topics covering the breadth of interventional oncology.

One of the strengths of IOUK is that it offers value across all stages of the IR journey, from trainees and fellows through to practising interventional radiologists.

Whether you are looking to build your knowledge, hear from leading experts, connect with colleagues or be part of the wider IO community, IOUK 2026 is an excellent opportunity to get involved.

Could BSIR help you find your place in IR?

Nominations are now open for the BSIR Committee Elections 2026, with opportunities available for both Full Members and Trainee Members.

In this video, Ali, an ST5 registrar, shares how he first joined BSIR as a trainee.

For Ali, getting involved gave him a better understanding of interventional radiology. It allowed him to attend lectures, see new materials, learn from others and explore whether IR was the right path for him.

Since then, he has developed a real passion for the specialty and is now involved as a committee member.

For him, committee involvement is not only about personal development. It is also about improving his network, meeting people across the IR community and learning from those who can help him become a more rounded and better interventional radiologist.

BSIR committee involvement offers members the chance to connect, contribute and play an active role in the future of the specialty.

If you are interested in getting more involved, we encourage you to consider standing.

Nominations close Friday 22nd May.
