Frequently asked questions

Who is eligible to join the British Society of Skeletal Radiologists?

The BSSR welcomes radiologists of all grades for whom musculoskeletal radiology is a significant specialist interest within their work.

We also particularly welcome radiology trainees of any level with an interest or curiosity to know more about our sub-specialism.

What is the process for joining BSSR?

We operate a referral based membership system where we ask you to be nominated by two present members who will act as your referees. Nomination takes place by email during the online application process, your referees will receive an email with instructions.

If you are interested in our Society but do not have referees in mind please contact our secretary.

How much does membership cost?

• Full Members (Consultant grade) - £70
• Trainee Members (Associate) - £30
• Retired Members - free*

* Membership becomes free in the membership anniversary year following cessation of any clinical practice

How is membership administered and renewed?

Once you sign up, you will have access to a members area. When your membership status is approved by your referees, you will be able to pay and activate your full account.

This will grant you access to our discussion forum as well as private members content.

As an active member, by default your membership automatically renews on the anniversary of your joining date using the payment method you signed up with.

Can non-members attend BSSR events?

We run events open to non-members as well as closed members only events which tend to involve more Societal business (annual general meeting etc).

Our open events are offered at a reduced rate to active BSSR members.
