The IBMS currently represents over 20,000 members, the majority of whom are biomedical scientists. It has a strong presence in education provision and is an approved education provider for the Health Professions Council (HPC), a regulatory body for health professionals in the United Kingdom. The IBMS awards the Certificate of Competence, the gateway qualification to HPC registration and a career as a biomedical scientist, as well as providing a portfolio of professional training and educational qualifications covering all levels of professional practice that enable biomedical scientists to enhance their careers. Furthermore, the IBMS enjoys Licensed Member Body status conferred by the Science Council in the UK, enabling it to award Chartered Scientist (CSci) designation to appropriately qualified and experienced members. The IBMS is currently awaiting approval from the Science Council for the award of two further licences that will enable it to confer Registered Scientist and Registered Science Technician status to its eligible members. This will further enhance the Institute’s support of the development of the biomedical science workforce at all career levels. The IBMS is recognised by the Departments of Health in all four home countries of the United Kingdom as the professional body representing biomedical scientists, and has built strong relations and good communications with government and its agencies.
