British Cardiovascular Society Information

BCS is a professional body and membership society for those working in cardiovascular medicine in the UK. We have over 3,000 members, with membership is growing steadily and includes a great majority of UK Cardiologists. BCS aims to support and represent all those working in the fields of cardiovascular care and research. To help achieve this aim, BCS is affiliated with 17 unique organisations that work in specific areas of cardiovascular medicine, health and patient care. Members of the affiliated groups, who are not also ordinary members of the BCS, are associate members of the BCS and there are currently approximately 8,000 health care professionals in this category, (including clinical and basic scientists, general practitioners, junior doctors, nurses, physiologists and all subspecialties of cardiovascular medicine).
