BSIR SEARCHABLE MEMBER DATABASE : NEW MEMBER FUNCTION

We have developed a Search Engine within the BSIR website for anyone to search for members.

In order to be a part of this searchable database, you need to input your details as you'd like them to appear (these are not the same details held by the BSIR for membership).

To be included in the Search Engine:
1. Login to www.bsir.org
2. In the My Locker section click My Account
3. Click Update Searchable Data Preferences
4. Chose if you want your data to be available to the Public, BSIR Members or just to BSIR Council/Committees
5. Fill out your details as you want them to appear in the Searchable Database (remembering if you chose it to be public, everyone can see the details you enter!)
6. Tick the box to agree to the Terms and Conditions/Privacy Policies of the BSIR
7. Check the boxes to indicate which procedures you do (adult/paeds) and whether you'd be willing to talk on each procedure
8. Click Submit and you will then be visible within the Searchable Database which can be accessed from the homepage by clicking "Search for an IR doctor" at the top of the page or here:

All the best,

BSIR Membership Fee Increase 2021 & 2022

Dear BSIR Members,

As reported at the AGM on Thursday 26th November 2020 a membership graded rise will be implemented in 2021 and complete in 2022.     

 The membership fee has not been increased for over a decade (nearly 2) and has never been adjusted to the annual inflation rate.

Subscription BSIR pay to CIRSE for Group membership will also increase substantially in 2022.

Over the past few years we have increased the portfolio of services available on the website for free. We are developing the website as an educational platform for membership and industry with webinars freely available and educational videos. 

We have a close relationship with the RCR and work with them to issue advice and guidance that is essential for the membership. We also have plans to improve the ability to communicate with our members directly for advice and help.

We believe there are significant benefits of BSIR Membership:

·  Access to the website

·  Access to BSIR webinars

·  Educational Content

·  Advice and guidance documents e.g. POIRS

·  Eligible to apply for the BSIR Educational Grants

·  A strong voice within the RCR

·  BSIR Newsletter

·  CIRSE Membership (individual membership - €300)

·  Access to discount for meetings APC, IOUK, PIR, ASM

·  IR procedural database / registries

Direct Debits will automatically increase from 05/04/2021 and 05/04/2022.

BSIR are now asking all members (except those residing outside of the UK) to process their membership payment via direct debit:

• if you still pay via standing order please ensure you cancel your instruction with your bank/building society and contact Julie Ellison at admin@bsir.org to arrange a direct debit mandate
• if you make payment via the online payment system please contact Julie Ellison at admin@bsir.org to arrange a direct debit mandate at least one month before your online payment is due so a direct debit mandate can be set up and processed in time for your membership renewal date.
