IBMS eStudent membership wins Associations Award

The Association Awards recognise excellence in Associations both in the UK and Internationally, with award categories focussed on key areas for the association community.

The IBMS’ eStudent membership was nominated for developing a dedicated platform and engaging content to provide biomedical science students with tailored online, accessible support.

IBMS eStudent membership was co-produced with biomedical science students to ensure that the IBMS is delivering tailored information and engaging with students about issues that are important to them, in the formats that students prefer.

eStudent is the first IBMS online-only membership, providing an online version of the profession’s journal; The Biomedical Scientist and offering biomedical science students a dedicated website, supporting their progression from university to practicing as a registered biomedical scientist.

The introduction of the eStudent membership has already seen the number of students joining the IBMS increase by over 60%, as well as attracting students from a wider range of UK and overseas universities.
