BIR (British Institute of Radiology)

What makes us different is not just our history. It is our ability to keep looking forward.

Founded in 1897 as the world’s first radiological society, the BIR has been at the forefront of innovation for over 125 years. From the earliest X-rays to today’s most advanced technologies, we have always pioneered leading the way.

We are the only organisation where the full imaging and oncology community comes together side by side to collaborate, learn and grow. Our unique mix of legacy, vision, and multidisciplinary connection creates a space that is as inclusive as it is impactful.
