History Page: British Society of Skeletal Radiologists

This history page is dedicated to the British Society of Skeletal Radiology, established in 1985, the first national society to promote musculoskeletal radiology. Initially called the Skeletal Radiology Group, the current name was adopted in 1995. From humble beginnings with only 14 members, the society now counts 681 members in its ranks. It has promoted the subspecialty of skeletal radiology in the United Kingdom and continuing education in skills and knowledge in the field. The society organizes meetings each year for its members and a refresher course every 2 years. It helps other national organizations and the government to develop policies and guidelines related to musculoskeletal radiology.
