AHCS Welcomes the IDSc to the Professional Bodies Council.
The Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) is delighted to extend a warm welcome to the Institute of Decontamination Sciences (IDSc) who have recently joined the Professional Bodies Council.
The Academy exists to represent all healthcare science disciplines and to speak with one unified voice on behalf of the entire profession. The Professional Bodies Council plays a vital role in ensuring that every area of healthcare science is heard and represented through its constituent professional bodies.
By bringing together the full breadth of professional bodies across healthcare science, the Council ensures that our collective expertise informs national policy, strengthens professional identity, and drives the continued development of our workforce.
We’re delighted to strengthen this collective voice with our newest member, and we look forward to working closely together to champion the profession and its impact on patient care across the UK.
On joining the PBC, the IDSc said:
The Institute of Decontamination Sciences (IDSc) is delighted to join the Professional Bodies Council (PBC) under the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) and to contribute to the collective voice representing healthcare science across the UK.
We are excited to collaborate with fellow professional bodies to promote excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement within healthcare science. Our inclusion on the Council provides an invaluable opportunity to ensure that the vital role of decontamination science, in safeguarding patients and supporting safe clinical practice, is both recognised and represented at a national level.
As part of the PBC, the IDSc looks forward to sharing our expertise, learning from colleagues across disciplines, and contributing to the ongoing advancement of the healthcare science workforce. Together, we can strengthen the profession’s impact and continue to support the delivery of safe, high-quality patient care.
In unity of purpose and steadfast in our duty, we move forward, not for ourselves, but for the patients and professionals we serve, determined to uphold the highest standards, whatever the challenge, and wherever the need.
Professor Chris Hopkins, AHCS President and PBC Chair, said:
On behalf of the Academy for Healthcare Science, I am delighted to formally welcome the Institute of Decontamination Sciences as a valued member of our Professional Bodies Council.
