A round up of the latest Biomedical Science Day activities taking place throughout the day
It's Biomedical Science Day!
Join us throughout the day as we post a live report from events taking place to celebrate the world's largest biomedical science awareness campaign.
There are hundreds of events taking place to mark the 9th Biomedical Science Day, if you see anything interesting that you would like us to add here, please email communications@ibms.org. You can tag us in your photos on social media using #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare and #BiomedicalScienceDay2025 and be entered into one of our competitions.
The Facebook gallery is now live and will be updated throughout the day with your photos!
Some lovely feedback to the staff manning the stand in Belfast. We received this email from a patient's mum
My 5 year old daughter had an appointment at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast today and was fascinated by the stand in the foyer.
Please pass on, if possible, her thanks. She had a difficult appointment and the biomeds there made her day so much happier. She's now told me that she wants to be a histologist after reading the Super Lab book, which I rather approve of as a (former) anatomist!
Thank you. It really made a difference today.
As our team north of the border are busy getting ready for a Biomedical Science Day event at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh this evening, MSP Stuart McMillan posts

A lovely post from Lauren Sullivan MP who we recently arranged for her to undertake a laboratory tour at her local hospital
Biomedical Science Day is a fantastic opportunity to shine a light on the vital — and often unseen — work of biomedical scientists. Hidden away in hospital laboratories, they process thousands of samples, delivering accurate and timely results that are essential to modern healthcare.
At Darent Valley Hospital, I had the privilege of meeting the incredible biomedical science team, who handle over 3,000 samples every single day. Their dedication, precision, and resilience are nothing short of remarkable. On behalf of everyone in Gravesham, thank you for your tireless commitment and the critical role you play in supporting our NHS.
