The College's two Patients' Liaison Groups produce a range of patient information leaflets on interventional radiology, diagnostic radiology and oncology procedures.
Departments are welcome to use the text provided as it stands for the purposes of incorporation into their own patient information leaflets or inclusion in other information provided to patients in advance of their appointments, subject to the appropriate acknowledgement as set out below. Each leaflet is provided in Word format to download the text.
Interventional radiology leaflets
These leaflets have been prepared by the Clinical Radiology Patients' Liaison Group (CRPLG) of The Royal College of Radiologists and the British Society of Interventional Radiology (BSIR). They are intended as information leaflets for patients who are recommended to have any one of these 15 specific interventional radiology procedures, and as a starting point to aid discussions with the patient's consultant clinical radiologist, prior to obtaining informed consent.
