The British Society of Interventional Radiology welcomes you to its meeting in Glasgow, the second to be held in Scotland. The work of British interventional radiologists is of the highest calibre and the annual meeting provides an opportunity to demonstrate what can be achieved by modern interventional techniques. A large number of excellent papers which will be presented, and the wide range of topics covered is a demonstration of the increasingly important role of interventional radiology as a mainstream clinical discipline.
For the first time the annual meeting of the BSIR is open to radiographers and nurses interested in interventional radiology. We warmly welcome these invaluable members of the interventional team, who make such an important contribution to our work.
Richard Edwards, Ian Gillespie and Jon Moss have put together an excellent scientific and social programme and we can look forward to three days of education and fun in Glasgow.
Professor A Adam
You will now have realised that we have changed the format of our annual scientific meeting this year in Glasgow. The new format extends over 2.5 days and includes state of the art lectures, invited lectures, controversy sessions, satellite symposia, scientific sessions and workshops. These changes have been necessary as the society has grown and matured over its relatively short existence.
In order to strengthen the concept of team work in interventional radiology the meeting has been opened to radiographers, nurses and vascular surgeons for the first time. This will enhance the meeting considerably facilitating a multidisciplinary approach to many of the issues to be discussed.
We are fortunate this year in being offered a civic reception by the City of Glasgow to round off the first day and there will be the usual gala dinner with after dinner speakers followed by a cabaret.
Although the cost of the meeting has risen significantly we hope you will appreciate the reasons for this, namely an extra day and much larger conference facilities. We have been fortunate in receiving record support from our sponsors this year with the largest technical display to date (over 30 companies)
A great deal of effort has gone into redesigning the meeting and as organisers we hope that you will find this both instructive and enjoyable.

1. LOCATION AND OPENING TIMES
The Kodak AV Service Centre will be located in the BARRA Room which is located on the Mezzanine Level of the Glasgow Moat House Hotel. Opening times are as follows:
Tuesday 3rd November 1998 08.00 hrs to 18.15 hrs

Thursday 5th November 1998 08.00 hrs to 13.00 hrs
Speakers are requested to report to the AV service centre (whether or not they are showing slides) at their earliest convenience, but in any event not later than 1 hour before the session in which they are taking part is due to commence.
2. THE KODAK AV SERVICE CENTRE
The Conference Organisers request that ALL speakers visit the Centre. This applies even if you bring your own slide trays ready-loaded or are using overhead transparencies.
Full facilities are provided for loading your slides into Kodak Carousel slide trays and subsequent previewing to check:
a) sequence and orientation of your slides;
b) for any defective slide mounts or peeling labels;
c) correct functioning of the slide tray;
to be followed by full documentation of the slide trays.
Horizontal viewing boxes for slide sorting, creation or viewing of overhead transparencies, together with slide mounting and cleaning materials will be provided.
An emergency service for the production of 35mm transparencies from prepared artwork will be available. There will be a charge to cover the cost of Polaroid materials used.
Procedures
When your slide trays are ready, they should be handed in at the AV Checkout Desk where they will be sealed in your presence and identified with your name and lecture details. We will ask you to check these details.
The tray(s) will then be delivered by a steward to the appropriate lecture theatre in time for your lecture.
Slides will be returned to the Kodak AV Service Centre approximately 30 minutes after the end of each session and unless you have brought your own slide tray(s), your slides will be transferred to an envelope to await collection.
*Please tell our Receptionist if you wish to personally unload your slides from our trays.

National Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Deaths (NCEPOD)
Dr Ken Callum (Derby)
The National Confidential Enquiry in the Perioperative Deaths (NCEPOD) first started in 1984 in three regions and has been a national study since 1989. There are approximately twenty thousand deaths in hospital within thirty days of surgery and anaesthesia each year in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and different samples of these have been studied from year to year. Each hospital has a reporter who notifies NCEPOD of deaths following surgery. Questionnaires are sent out concerning a sample of deaths. These go to relevant Consultants. After completion these are sent back to the administrative staff at NCEPOD who remove anything that indicates where they have come from, such as details of operation notes, so that they are anonymous as well as confidential by the time they are passed on to the clinical staff of NCEPOD.
Questionnaires are examined by a group of advisors who are experienced Consultants in the appropriate specialty (nominated by specialty groups). Lessons about quality of care are sought with recommendations for improving outcome. Certainly in general and vascular surgery a number of recommendations were made which, in particular, have resulted in greater availability of day time emergency operating theatres, fewer operations done in the middle of the night and reduction in the number of operations performed by unsupervised trainees.
With increasing use of interventional radiology it was felt that it would be worth having a study of deaths following interventional radiology and, in particular, interventional vascular radiology, although we are also studying coronary and neuro-vascular intervention. Each centre involved is returning the number of procedures that are performed every month and any deaths are reported and questionnaires sent out. The study started in April 1998 and finishes in April 1999. Questionnaires will go on being sent out for a few months after that and then in about September of 1999 we will start analyzing all the results along with the clinical advisors for interventional radiology. Once we have looked through all the questionnaires I will write the report with the help of the clinical advisors and this is due to be published during the year 2000.
I will discuss the structure of NCEPOD and possible future changes in the light of new government reforms on quality of care. I will be happy to try and answer questions at the end.

This lively multidisciplinary session should prove entertaining with contributions from vascular surgery, interventional radiology, vascular medicine and a health economist. There will be ample time for discussion during this session.
Wednesday 4th November 1200-1300 Argyll Suite I & II
Each year interventional radiologists from all over Britain have a chance to "confess", to come clean, to regurgitate the unmentionable, to discuss the improbable and to don the hairshirt of humility. I am, of course, talking about the "confession session" at the British Society of Interventional Radiology Meeting 1998 in Glasgow. As per usual, Drs Buckenham and Belli will be offering counselling and exoneration to all those who submit a case.
The rules are as follows:
1. A single case per centre.
2. All cases must be submitted in advance to Drs Buckenham and Belli.
3. On submission of the case, please indicate a short case history with any learning points.
4. If your "confession" is to be heard, please ensure that it is limited to five minutes including discussion time and must be presented in slide format.
Remember absolution can only come from humiliation.
Send your cases now to:

Set to become a BSIR sporting tradition entries are invited for the 2nd Dogshortz fun-run. The inaugural Dogshortz challenge was won by a united Sheffield-London axis mainly secondary to an arcane set of rules that awarded points for bulk, longevity, moustache wearing, ridiculous haircuts and golf leisure wear. This year the rules have been revised to ensure that a similar miscarriage of justice will not be repeated.
This year's run is open to all members of the BSIR either individually or in teams of three. The course, a closely guarded secret, measures approximately 6 miles and takes in many of the legendary attractions of the Glaswegian landscape. Training is actively discouraged, as a hugely punitive handicap system will be in operation.
The Dogshortz is kindly sponsored by Bard UK and a magnificent trophy will be presented to the winners. We hope runners this year will have an opportunity to raise money for a local charity.
