Have you booked the BSIR Networking Dinner yet?
If not, don’t leave it until you arrive - the dinner fills up so quickly now that that is a big risk!

The Networking Dinner is always one of the most popular parts of the ASM and always sells out. It is a chance to step away from the programme, catch up properly with colleagues and spend time with people from across the IR community.

For some, it is a chance to reconnect with people they only see once or twice a year. For others, especially trainees, it can be an opportunity to meet people whose work they have followed or heard about. Sometimes the best conversations of the whole ASM happen away from the lecture theatre.

If you want to join us, make sure the dinner is part of your booking.

“It’s given me a good insight into how to perform some of those interventions.”

Looking back at , Joe, a first-year radiology trainee, highlighted the value of the practical sessions. One of his favourite parts of the meeting was getting hands-on with different interventional oncology techniques, giving him a chance to understand more about the procedures and how they are performed.

For trainees early in their radiology career, that practical exposure can make a real difference. It is one thing to hear about a technique in a lecture, it is another to have the opportunity to try it, ask questions and learn directly from people already working in the field.

That hands-on learning returns at BSIR 2026 in Birmingham, 4th to 6th November.

What does your BSIR 2026 programme look like?
There is no single route through the ASM.

Across the three days you can explore:

→ Interventional oncology
→ Arterial and aortic intervention
→ Venous intervention
→ MSK embolisation
→ Embolisation
→ Thrombectomy
→ Thyroid intervention
→ Dialysis intervention
→ Paediatric IR
→ TIPS and mesenteric intervention
→ Non-vascular intervention
→ Pulmonary embolism

That is before the workshops, masterclasses, scientific sessions and wider professional content. The difficult part might be deciding what not to attend.

With the ASM getting closer, take a look at the timetable and start building the three days that work for you.

It was a real privilege to visit University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire for my final visit as the BSIR Travelling Professor.

I had the pleasure of meeting a group of friendly, enthusiastic trainees, both in person and virtually. We enjoyed some excellent and highly relevant clinical discussions on advances in liver cancer treatment, particularly the evolving role of interventional radiology (IR) in transforming minimally invasive treatment options.

The trainees were highly engaged in discussions around complications, complex IR procedures, and, importantly, the role of sound clinical judgement and appropriate decision-making in our everyday practice. I was also delighted to hear about the enthusiasm of some budding IRs in the department and their plans to organise a study day. There is clearly great potential ahead!

A big thank you to Neil and the team for coordinating the visit, and to Sankar for sharing the photographs. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and, in particular, the opportunity to have individual conversations with so many keen and motivated trainees.

It was a wonderful way to conclude my visits as BSIR Travelling Professor. I am grateful for the warm welcome, the stimulating discussions, and the opportunity to share experiences and learn from the next generation of interventional radiologists.

“My favourite bits were all the hands-on stuff.”

Looking back at , Ahmed, an ST4 in the South West, summed up what he enjoyed most about the meeting.

- Networking
- Meeting people from across the country
- Plenty of workshops
- Most of all, the chance to get hands-on with the tools, devices and equipment used in IR.

That practical experience is such an important part of the ASM, giving delegates the opportunity to try things out, ask questions and build confidence in a learning environment before putting those skills into practice clinically.

Join us for BSIR 2026 in Birmingham, 4th to 6th November.

Two BSIR traditions you really don’t want to miss!

First up, the BSIR Quiz on Wednesday evening:
Gather a team, prepare to discover which of your colleagues knows a surprising amount about subjects completely unrelated to IR, and expect a little healthy competition.

Then there is the Networking Dinner:
Get your out out clothes on! It is always one of the most popular parts of the ASM and a brilliant opportunity to catch up with colleagues away from the clinical programme.

And a reminder: the dinner sells out!
Please don’t wait until you arrive in Birmingham to decide you fancy coming along.

Get it into your BSIR plans now.

Something a little different at BSIR 2026!
Your personal brand exists whether you actively manage it or not. Building professional visibility online does not mean posting every day, sharing your whole life or spending hours on LinkedIn.

Clarity Consultants Ltd and the BSIR Communications Committee will be looking at:

Social media without the overwhelm: building your personal brand and protecting your wellbeing

We will cover how to use social media with purpose, build a professional presence that feels like you, deal with barriers such as imposter syndrome and put boundaries in place so visibility does not come at the expense of your wellbeing.

Practical, realistic and designed for people who already have very busy jobs.

Add it to your BSIR 2026 plans.

RCR: Trick or Treat?
One of the more intriguing titles in this year’s BSIR timetable!

On Wednesday, the programme steps beyond procedures and techniques to consider some of the bigger questions facing interventional radiology.
- Where does IR sit now?
- How should the specialty develop?
- What does its future relationship with the RCR look like?

Not every important conversation at BSIR happens around a new device or clinical technique. Some are about the future of the specialty itself.

If those conversations matter to you, add RCR: Trick or Treat? to your Wednesday plans.

https://www.bsirmeeting.org/programme/scientific-programme/

The programme at BSIR 2026 will cover a wide range of IR topics through a variety of different session formats for a great learning experience, whether you a consultant, nurse, radiographer, trainee, or medical student!
