The IBMS is encouraging member’s to get involved in National Pathology Week, which takes place next month.

It is the Royal College of Pathologists’ annual celebration of the sector and highlights the vital role that biomedical scientists and support staff play in the diagnosis of disease and the provision of healthcare.

The week will run from 5 to 11 November and the IBMS is encouraging members to invite hospital staff into their laboratories to raise awareness of the role of biomedical science in healthcare.

The IBMS provides packs of free promotional items all year round for any events or stands that aim to inform or promote biomedical science.

Any members wanting materials in time for National Pathology Week will need to submit their request before 26 October.

Members interested in promotional materials should visit the resources section of the IBMS website.
