IBMS Regions

The Institute regions serve as a channel of communication between Council, the Institute office and local members.

The region and branch network has an important role to play in supporting local biomedical scientists, communication, promoting the profession, implementing policy, building up local networks, organising meetings and working with local universities, leaders and parliamentary representatives.

The regions also work with a number of local groups to organise meetings and events and there is often a social side accompanying the professional work of organising events and representing the Institute at a local level.

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.
