The British Institute of Musculoskeletal Medicine formed was formed on 5th December 1992 from the union of two other bodies, the British Association of Manipulative Medicine (BAMM) and the Institute of Orthopaedic Medicine.
Deposited by Malcolm C.T. Morrison, President of BIMM, January 2002.
Constitution, council and other minutes, reports and other papers of British Institute of Musculoskeletal Medicine (BIMM) and of one of its two predecessor organisations, the British Association of Manipulative Medicine (BAMM), 1987-2000. In addition to the official papers there is much correspondence and other documentation created by or sent to Malcolm Morrison, who was active in both bodies and eventually became President of BIMM. The latter material contains a large amount of information on medical education, including draft syllabi.
BAMM and subsequently BIMM served as the British representative bodies within the Fédération International de Médecine Manuelle (FIMM); the collection includes some material on FIMM meetings and some discussion of the body's future.
There is also a very little information on activities of the British League Against Rheumatism (BLAR).
The pre-merger history of the Institute of Orthopaedic Medicine (IoM) is not represented.
The collection is arranged as follows:
A: British Association of Manipulative Medicine (BAMM): official papers (1986-1991)
B: British Institute of Musculoskeletal Medicine (BIMM): official papers (1992-2000)
C: Personal papers of Malcolm Morrison, President of BIMM, relating to BAMM and BIMM (1971-2001)
The papers are available subject to the usual conditions of access to Archives and Manuscripts material, after the completion of a Reader's Undertaking.
