International BLS Day 15th April
International Federation of Biomedical Laboratory Science established BLS Day in 1996 at the IFBLS World Congress in Oslo, Norway, to promote and celebrate the key role of Biomedical Laboratory personnel in diagnostic and preventive health care systems.
Promote and celebrate
The purpose of BLS Day is to increase awareness of the role that Biomedical Laboratory Scientists have in providing health care. Biomedical Laboratory Scientists play a key role in diagnosis, quality development and assurance, treatment, research, and development in the modern medical sciences.
International BLS Day gives our profession a day to promote and celebrate ourselves as a profession.
