MRI SAFETY UPDATE & INNOVATIONS DAY 2025
The Royal College of Physicians of London
Saturday, 1st November 2025 (9am to 5pm)
Join us at this iconic venue for a full day of engaging lectures and thought-provoking discussions on MRI safety and the latest innovations. The conference brochure is now available to download, further down this page, and you will find the agenda for the day in the brochure.
Registration for in person and virtual, live attendance is now closed. However, you can still register for on-demand access — simply complete the Booking Form below.
Our prices remain unchanged for the fourth consecutive year, with a subsidised 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 were provided.
Attendees participating virtually will have the opportunity to pose questions to the presenters online. 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.
In-person attendees also have access to view the galleries and exhibits in the RCP.
Additionally, the publisher of The MRI Practitioner’s Handbook: Essential Safety and Scanning Information will have a book stand at this event, and attendees* (in-person, virtual or on-demand) can purchase a copy with a 25% conference discount on the retail price - added value to support your CPD.
*If ordering the MRI Practitioner’s Handbook online through the publisher, please note that delivery is to UK addresses only and P&P charges apply.
