External partners, societies and education links
The Society aims to build on existing relationships with a range of external organisations to promote collaboratively the interests of patients and of nuclear medicine practitioners. We have seats on various committees and share knowledge and information collaboratively.
The Society exhibits at the spring conference of the BNMS and delegates are encouraged to visit the Society stand.
All of the organisations linked here run conferences and events for nuclear medicine practitioners. Explore the links for further information.

European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM)
The European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) is the largest organisation dedicated to nuclear medicine in Europe. In this role, it has become the umbrella organisation which represents the whole sector towards the European Institutions and other international institutions.
The EANM has a large platform of e-learning resources many of which are accessible via a free account. https://www.eanm.org/esmit/level-1/
In 2016, the incumbent Presidents of the EANM and the UEMS/EBNM initiated a project to develop a comprehensive, yet concise, nuclear medicine practice guide. Only two years later, in October 2018, this ultimate hand book from and for the Nuclear Medicine Community was launched. Click on the image for free access.
