Launched by new IBMS President Dr Sarah Pitt in January, the new strategy for 2026–2029 has the subtitle ‘Strengthening visibility, promoting value and championing biomedical science’. It sets out a clear direction for the organisation and the profession over the next three years.
The new plan focuses on strengthening visibility, promoting the value of biomedical science, and championing the profession across healthcare and beyond.
At its core are the three key themes of the IBMS’s membership value proposition – support, progress and promote – which underpin how the Institute will continue to deliver for its members and advance the profession.
The strategy outlines ambitions to support a sustainable biomedical science workforce, expand access to training and qualifications, and raise the profile of biomedical scientists at national and international levels. It also sets out plans to grow and diversify the membership, enhance professional development opportunities, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the IBMS.
IBMS Chief Executive David Wells said: “In a time of enormous change, it is right that the IBMS responds with an ambitious, exciting strategy to keep biomedical science at the heart of healthcare.”
