The IBMS
sent its newsletter today. You can see it by clicking here.
There was talk about two young ladies who have been announced as biomedical scientist of the year, and of a shortlist for other awards. Without wishing to undermine anyone in any way, I’ll make the observation that (not including my at-least-weekly) night shifts I was called out of bed at least twice a week for twenty years, and that demands of the workplace meant that I missed my daughter’s first eight birthday parties. No one even said thank you. And I didn’t really do much that thousands of others didn’t do. But singling out one for praise undermines all the others.
There was talk of the IBMS’s involvement in the London Pride march. Much as I support the rainbow community (with family and friends in it) perhaps the IBMS might concentrate on things more relevant to its core business.
There was talk about the proposed raise in HCPC fees… they go up regardless of how much anyone might whinge.
And as for the Harvey’s Gang lab tours… how has the IBMS managed to take over something which surely must be the job of a paediatric nurse?
I suppose
it is all about priorities. Mine are clearly sadly at odds with those of my
professional body.
