IBMS Advisory Panel vacancies
The IBMS Advisory Panels are key to the success of many Institute initiatives. Panel members advise the institute on quality, training, safety, represent the Institute on national committees and work with the IBMS education team to help develop professional qualifications, set exam papers and help organise the scientific lecture programme for IBMS Congress.
There are eight advisory panels covering cellular pathology, clinical chemistry, cytopathology, haematology, immunology, medical microbiology, transfusion science and virology.
Currently there are vacancies on the clinical chemistry and virology advisory panels.
