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.
