She began her two-year term of office on 1 January, having taken over from the outgoing President Ian Sturdgess, who said: “I am really excited for Alison taking over the reins and I hope that she enjoys being President as much as I have.”

Alison said: “I would like to continue to use my proven skills and attributes as President of the IBMS to build and expand on all the fantastic work that the IBMS has achieved.”
