Letters of Consequence: A History of the Institute of Biomedical Science 

Letters of Consequence gives an account of the development of the IBMS and the events that influenced it and allowed it to influence others in the field of biomedical science over the past 100 years.

A thread runs throughout the story of the Institute that reflects the importance placed on letters, whether they be those that the founders of the PBLAA circulated in 1911 in an effort to garner support for the idea of a laboratory assistants' association, those that over the past century have contained the Institute’s response to issues of the day, or the post-nominal letters that Institute members strive so hard to achieve. It is these that are the Letters of Consequence of the title.

"It certainly stirred up a lot of memories and even though I have been in Canada for forty years, I still have a close connection with the Institute. I feel I have to congratulate our people on the amazing work." 
Peter Drury FIBMS
