Celebrating National Pathology Week 2021
National Pathology Week 2021 will run all this week (1-7 November). As ever, the IBMS will be supporting our member's activities as up and down the country they hold engagement events, workshops and post on social media to help raise awareness of biomedical science.
By supporting this event, we help showcase the roles and specialisms of IBMS members and help them to promote the profession to the public
This year's theme is 'All Together Now'. We are excited to support this important awareness campaign to highlight the vital role of biomedical science.
Resources to help you celebrate
'Do you know what happens to your sample?' videos
We've produced a series of animated videos to show how biomedical scientists process samples. The videos follow the journey of a sample from their collection at a GP surgery to the delivery of the result to the patient.
We encourage you to share these videos as much as possible throughout the week to expand awareness of what we do to the public. You can share them on your social media channels or include them as part of your presentation or engagement event.
