IBMS vision
The Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) is the professional body for those who work within the field of biomedical science. Its principal aims are
to represent its members, set standards of behaviour for its members, enable career development, educate its members, promote biomedical
science to the public and award qualifications appropriate to the collective knowledge and skill base of its members.
The Institute was founded in 1912 and represents over 19,000 members employed predominately within the healthcare arena, but also within
university and veterinary laboratories, government agencies and other services. Other members also work in related commercial fields and academia. Although most Institute members live and work in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, many other members are employed
throughout the world.
IBMS roles
To aid and support the development of biomedical science, both nationally and internationally.
Develop professional standards to guide those who practice biomedical science and to ensure patient safety.
Assess competence to practise as Health Professions Council (HPC) registered biomedical scientists.
Represent the interests of biomedical science, provide advice and work with UK governments, public & independent healthcare providers,
media, universities, industry and commercial sector, professional organisations and all other partners.
Provide professional support and benefits for members.
Develop qualifications, training and diplomas for members to demonstrate levels of expertise and competency along a career pathway.
To enable members to achieve their highest potential via continuing professional development and other professional activities.
Inform and guide biomedical scientists through media, professional and scientific publications, meetings and events.
Promote public awareness of biomedical science.
Award the designation of Chartered Scientist to qualifying members.
Fund research and support charitable causes in biomedical science.
Maintain a historical archive of the Institute and biomedical science profession.
