In addition, award winners will present their work across plenaries such as the Impact Award and Foundation Award lectures. There will be opportunities to view a range of posters, attend industry sponsored workshops and network with peers. Delegates are welcome to attend the conference reception, marking the Association’s 70th anniversary.


Biochemistry Training Day

Featuring a shared morning schedule with Microbiology trainees, the Biochemistry Training Day kicks off with procurement sessions and interactive management scenarios. Afternoon sessions include statistics for the implementation of assays, and liver metabolism with clinical cases.

Speakers include Hazel Borthwick (Consultant Clinical Biochemist at Darlington Memorial Hospital & ACB Director of Education, Training and Workforce) and Stuart McPherson (Clinical Lead of the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Liver Unit).

Microbiology Training Day

After the programme that’s shared with Biochemistry trainees in the morning, the Microbiology Training Day features sessions covering infection control and the properties of antimicrobial drugs. There will also be interactive case discussions spanning genitourinary medicine, drug resistant tuberculosis and more.

Among the speakers for this training day is Penny Lewthwaite (Consultant and Lead Clinician in Infectious Diseases at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust). 

The ACB is looking forward to welcoming delegates from across laboratory medicine disciplines at this annual event.
