About the British Society of Neuroradiologists	home
The Society was formed in 1970 with the following objectives: - To further the study of neurological radiology and to stimulate research. - To encourage technological progress in the design and construction of apparatus for neuroradiology. - To promote the exchange of scientific and technical information by means of lectures and demonstrations. - To provide an opportunity for discussions between British and overseas neuroradiologists. - To promote progress of the neurological sciences by co-operation with related disciplines.
The society holds its Annual Scientific Meeting in October each year in a different medical centre in the UK and occasionally elsewhere in Europe. The Society has strong professional links with the Royal College of Radiologists. Links are also established with the European Society of Neuroradiology and the World Federation of Neuroradiological Societies.
Membership There are four categories: Ordinary, Associate, Senior and Honorary Members.
Ordinary Members
Radiologists in substantive posts in which at least five sessions per week of their time is spent in the practice of neuroradiology and who have presented a paper at an annual meeting
Associate members
Radiologists who have an interest in neuroradiology, trainees in neuroradiology, or other persons with a research interest in neuroradiology who do not fulfil the criteria for ordinary membership. They will be elected by simple majority at a business meeting of the Society after being proposed and seconded by two ordinary members. Where an associate member subsequently fulfils the criteria necessary for ordinary membership this shall be granted automatically on application.
Senior Members
The Society will invite members who have retired to become Senior members. They will pay no annual subscription and although they may attend the annual business meeting they may not vote. Ordinary members may continue as such on retirement if they so wish.
Honorary members
The Society may exceptionally elect to honorary membership distinguished medical practitioners working in the field of neurological sciences. Honorary members have no voting rights and are exempt from the annual subscription
Further information regarding membership can be obtained from the Honorary Secretary.
