EPBS represents more than a quarter of million
of Biomedical Scientists in Europe
25 years promoting education, best practices, and ethics for Biomedical Laboratory Scientists in Europe
EPBS is an umbrella association of National Associations representing Biomedical Scientists across Europe. A healthcare profession, working daily in a multidisciplinary team to contribute uniquely to European citizens’ prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of diseases.
A group of pioneers dreamt, planned and created EPBS in 1999, since then EPBS has evolved, and adapted to the new European reality, increasing the number of members and contributing uniquely to the affirmation of this profession at the European level.
A special mention goes to our member associations countlessly working at both a national and European level towards the fundamentals of Biomedical Sciences and for the continual support of EPBS goals.
Finally, all of our efforts, work and dedication, translate to the care of individuals, who remain at the core of our priorities as healthcare professionals.
Long life to EPBS!
Fernando Mendes
EPBS President

What is Biomedical Science?
70% of clinical decisions are based on the result of a diagnostic test. Patient safety demands that these tests are carried out appropriately by qualified competent staff with due regard to the pre analytical, analytical and post analytical factors influencing the test and its interpretation.
Biomedical Scientists throughout Europe are a group of educated and skilled scientists who are dedicated to the provision of a quality laboratory service for the diagnosis and monitoring of disease.
