Educational Events
The educational aims of the Society include:
BSHNI Annual Meeting
The BSHNI annual meeting takes place over two days in the summer and is held in conjunction with the Radiology section of the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM).
It aims to provide a supportive and interactive educational forum with expert speakers, invited lecturers from overseas, group discussion with the opportunity to present interesting cases. Joint lectures by clinician/radiologist pairings are a popular feature of the meeting. The content, attendance and popularity of the meeting grows year on year. A distinguished international speaker is invited to give The Dr Peter Phelps Commemorative Lecture, which is now a centrepiece of the meeting.
