Position your organization as a champion of biomedical science careers and innovation by hosting lab tours, competitions, and educational content that attract talent and build employer brand during June's professional recognition month.
- Behind-the-scenes lab tours and interactive science demos to showcase career pathways
- Social media competitions (best biomedical bake, workplace photos, science memes) to drive engagement and UGC
- Educational content series on biomedical disciplines (clinical virology, medical microbiology, biomedical engineering) for career-curious audiences
- Partner with IBMS to co-host hospital foyer events and recruitment activations
First founded in 2017, Biomedical Science Day was founded by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), with a desire for greater visibility and recognition of the profession in the UK – and now around the world.
The event was originally celebrated on June 19, which was chosen to coincide with the birthdate of the IBMS founder, Albert Norman.
Later, the event was then moved to earlier in the month and has been celebrated then ever since.
Host Events
Celebrations for this day can include lab tours, engaging stands in hospital foyers, interactive science demonstrations, or just offering something nice to eat. Make it a big deal for biomedical scientists, healthcare professionals, patients, or anyone curious about the science behind diagnosis and treatment.
