BSNR ST1-3 Teaching Programme
The BSNR is delighted to announce that from September 2026, a second cycle of the annual programme of NHSE-funded monthly online teaching sessions will begin. Each themed session will run on the morning of the 4th Thursday of each month. The programme is targeted at ST1-3 registrars, and all UK trainees are encouraged to attend. Each session will include four themed lectures with interactive cases, shared via PACSbin.
Lecture recordings will also be uploaded to this website to view at a later date, available to UK radiology trainees.
