MRI SAFETY UPDATE & INNOVATIONS DAY 2025

The Royal College of Physicians of London

Saturday, 1st November 2025

Join us at this iconic venue for a full day of engaging lectures and thought-provoking discussions on MRI safety and the latest innovations.

You can choose to attend in person, virtually, or on-demand — simply complete the Booking Form below to secure your place.

Our prices remain unchanged for the fourth consecutive year with a subsidised (virtual and on-demand) rate available for self-funders, undergraduate students and those working in low-to-middle income economies.

All attendees — whether in-person or virtual — receive on-demand access to the presentation recordings, along with a named certificate of attendance that lists the supported learning outcomes, as endorsed by the College of Radiographers' CPD Now scheme. The certificate will also state that a minimum of six hours of learning had been provided.

Attendees participating virtually will have the opportunity to pose questions to the presenters online. As an added bonus, if there are questions that cannot be answered by the speakers during the event, due to time limitations, we will endeavour to address them post event and publish the responses on the website.

If attending in person, you will have excellent networking opportunities with peers and industry and be able to find out the latest updates from our vendors in the exhibition hall, plus you will receive a high-quality lunch, with snacks and refreshments throughout the day.

In-person attendees also receive, a moleskin notebook with a stylus pen, an MR Safe lanyard and industry information in their environmentally friendly conference bag.

As the event is being held in the Wolfson theatre and Osler room, in-person attendees have access to view the galleries on the 1st and 2nd floor, https://history.rcp.ac.uk/exhibitions

Additionally, the publisher of The MRI Practitioner’s Handbook: Essential Safety and Scanning Information will have a book stand at this event, and in-person attendees can purchase a copy with a 25% conference discount on the retail price - added value to support your CPD.
