Dr Nick Screaton joins BIR as president

Consultant cardiothoracic radiologist at Royal Papworth Hospital, Cambridge, Dr Nick Screaton has been inaugurated as president of The British Institute of Radiology (BIR) 2024-26. Having previously served as vice president of publishing and as a trustee, Dr Screaton has already played a key role in shaping the long-term strategy and vision of the organisation.

The inauguration event in September saw the BIR team welcome Dr Screaton as president and extend gratitude to outgoing president Professor Stephen Keevil. Dr Screaton said: “Given the BIR’s agility as an organisation, the opportunities for change in the face of constant advances in healthcare are incredibly exciting. I look forward to collaborating closely with the team to expand the resources and knowledge we can provide, not just to our members but to the wider community.

“The fact that the BIR is multidisciplinary and brings together a number of healthcare professionals is unique and I look forward to us increasing our engagement with radiographers.”
