I would like to send the organisers of the 10-year celebration of BMS Day in all the various locations in the UK, my very best wishes and hopes for a successful and well received exhibition of the important work that they do at The Heart of Medical Healthcare.
Having retired in 2003 after 40 years as a Biomedical Scientist, I have watched with great interest the amazing developments within the profession that have taken place since my retirement.
