The Institute of Biomedical Science

IBMS Regions

The IBMS region and branch network is responsible for organising science meetings, conferences, local political activities and liaising with schools and universities.

Many regions and branches have links with local MPs, universities and commercial interests. The regions also work with a number of local groups to organise meetings and events. There is often a social side accompanying the professional work of organising events and representing the Institute at a local level. Some regions are becoming increasingly active in promoting the profession during Healthcare Science Awareness Week and National Science Week.

All contact names are the region secretaries who will have further information for contacting your local branch. Alternatively you can contact the IBMS office at mail@ibms.org.
