Could you use your voice to help strengthen the IR community? Nominations are now open for the BSIR Committee Elections 2026, with opportunities available for both Full Members and Trainee Members. In this video, @DrNeilGuptaIR shares why being involved with BSIR matters. For Neil, BSIR provides a valuable opportunity to connect with consultants across the country, understand what is happening nationally and be part of a collective of like-minded individuals who care about the future of interventional radiology. Committee involvement is also a chance to share what we do, learn from others and help improve the specialty for patients, colleagues and the wider IR community. Through BSIR, members can contribute to important conversations across education, training, research and professional standards, while building strong professional connections along the way. If you are interested in getting more involved, representing IR and helping move the specialty forward, we encourage you to consider standing. Nominations close Friday 22nd May.

We’re just getting underway at VITALS with the opening introduction from the Mo & Raghu. A strong way to set the tone for the day ahead and a reminder of the quality of discussion still to come across every session. #VITALS2026 #InterventionalRadiology #BSIR

A fantastic talk from Professor Florian Wolf this morning at VITALS on Endovascular options for chronic dissections. A strong start to the Complex AAA management session and exactly the kind of expert insight the audience came for. #VITALS2026 #InterventionalRadiology #AorticIntervention #BSIR

Just heard Professor Rao Vallabhaneni speak on COMPASS and beyond, are we satisfied with the current evidence? Brilliant to see the session not just sharing experience, but really getting into the evidence and giving the audience a chance to ask direct questions in the room. #VITALS2026 #InterventionalRadiology #AorticIntervention #BSIR

@DrDLittle @BSIR_News @RCRadiologists It was a great session and showed how working together can help in all aspects of training and workforce

Really enjoyed my first experience of #BSIR2025 @BSIR_News. Great to meet so many enthusiastic interventional radiologists and lots for me to think about as MDET. Now on my way from BSIR in Liverpool, to the @RCRadiologists REALM conference in London.

@Ghazal__Najafi @DrStephenHarden @DrDLittle @DrNeilGuptaIR @jonhopkins_ @BSIR_News You did excellent job as always ! Best of luck with your application 🤞

It was a pleasure to attend another excellent BSIR ASM. Honoured (and a little daunted!) to sit alongside a panel of world-class faculty & share the trainee perspective on the CR/IR recruitment pathway. @DrStephenHarden @mo_hamady @DrDLittle @DrNeilGuptaIR @jonhopkins_ @BSIR_News
