The College and Institute of Biomedical Science announce new opportunity for biomedical scientists in histopathological reporting

The RCPath and Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) are pleased to announce an opportunity for biomedical scientists (BMSs) in histopathological reporting. This represents a major and significant new role for biomedical scientists who complete the rigorous training programme.

BMSs who successfully complete the programme will work alongside medically qualified pathologists as part of an integrated reporting team and will be able to dissect, independently report and present cases, such as cancer, at multi-disciplinary team meetings in either gynaecological pathology or gastrointestinal tract. They will also play an integral part in teaching and clinical audit as part of an overall service improvement strategy.
