It is with deep regret that we inform IBMS members of the death of Mr Jim Chapman on 15 February 2019.
Until his retirement, Jim was Senior Chief Biomedical Scientist in histopathology at Bradford Royal Infirmary.
Towards the end of his career, he was instrumental in seeing through the merger of his department with Leeds General Infirmary.
Jim had a distinguished academic career, teaching cellular pathology at both final and special levels at what was then the Leeds Polytechnic College.
He was also an examiner for our professional body and was well known nationally.
Jim was a staunch supporter of the IBMS and an active branch member. On his retirement, Jim was awarded honorary membership of the IBMS.
