BICC Background

As a BICC formed after Morris Gordon’s membership of the BEME editorial team, we had an advantage in rapidly moving forward with work. The BICC is a partnership of University of Central Lancashire school of medicine and Blackpool Medical Education department at  Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We have developed the strategy for BEMEs new structure and promptly handled a number of editorial duties. We have developed training and Morris Gordon is one of the BEME members delivering the annual PASREVE course, as well as teaching at several UK events on BEME related topics.
