The Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) is a non-profit, educational and scientific association aiming to improve patient care through the support of teaching, science, research and clinical practice in the field of cardiovascular and interventional radiology. This is achieved through state-of-the-art meetings; a plethora of online courses and webinars; publication and media activity; educational workshops and grants; and scientific, advocacy and patient safety initiatives. Furthermore the Society provides an examination for its members – the European Board of Interventional Radiology (EBIR), which is the European qualification in interventional radiology, and a formal hospital accreditation called the International Accreditation System for Interventional Oncology Services (IASIOS) which aims to appraise medical facilities’ interventional oncology service lines.
