Building interventional radiology skills for paediatrics
Royal College of Radiologists, London
23rd November 2026
This one‑day course equips adult interventional radiology (IR) consultants and paediatric diagnostic radiologists with the practical skills and clinical knowledge to confidently make decisions on and perform a range of low complexity procedures in children.
By bringing together expert perspectives from both paediatric and adult interventional radiologists, the course addresses the key differences between adult and paediatric IR, narrowing the skill gap so attendees gain greater confidence in delivering simple but key procedures, such as biopsy, drainages and basic angiography for trauma.
This course addresses the unmet need for minimally invasive procedures for children. By building attendees practical capabilities, it aims to expand access and reduce inequalities in the availability of IR for children.

Held entirely in English, it gathers radiologists from more than thirty countries for five days of intensive, practical teaching across all subspecialties: 44 sessions carrying 25 European CME credits (ECMEC®), covering abdominal, thoracic, urogenital, musculoskeletal, head and neck, breast, cardiovascular, neuro and gynaecological imaging, alongside live demonstrations of AI tools and hands-on musculoskeletal ultrasound. Eleven sessions are case-based, with participants making their own diagnosis before the expert gives the answer, and time is given to radiology and pathology correlations.
