Events

Following on from previous meetings the event will provide a forum for lively discussion and debate of changes happening within the profession.

Speakers will present 'Variations on a Theme - Delivery of Laboratory Services'. There are a variety of registrations available; for members and non-members of the IBMS, with supported places for those early in their career and students.

The move from CPA to ISO 15189 has left laboratories with many more challenges to address, particularly around the use of quality control materials.

The National Institute of Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) are pleased to be hosting a webinar, in partnership with the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), addressing these challenges.

Live Autopsy on Model - 10:30am-12:00 pm, 7th November 2018 - Lecture Theatre, Medical Education Centre, Hull Royal Infirmary

Lab Innovations is one of the UK’s largest gathering of laboratory manufacturers, suppliers and professionals with the support of some of the UK’s top science institutions.

The 2018 conference for the IBMS Central Cellular Pathology Society will be held 28-30th October at the De Vere Staverton Estate in Daventry. See the attached programme and application form for more information.

This course is aimed at both life science and clinical science fields, with the common fundamentals covered on day 1 and 2. The course then splits into life science and clinical orientated modules, from practical demonstrations to lectures highlighting not just the applications, but best practise as well.

This Course utilises many different sample types and fluorescent probes (DNA stains, classic antibody labels and fluorescent proteins) and these are chosen to best demonstrate particular problems and techniques. Focus is on the techniques they enable and the problems they generate, which will be applicable to any sample types.

The EM Summer School aims to provide a basic training in both the theory and practice of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The course covers imaging, diffraction and chemical microanalysis as well as the highly important area of sample preparation.

To raise awareness and a better understanding of the theory linked to practical duties of an Medical Laboratory Assistant and their role within the NHSCSP.
To recognise key aspects of the MLA duties and the connection to the overall aim of the Cytology department with links to other staff groups and clinical teams.
To show the key elements of the job and the importance of methodical work methods incorporating essential health & safety standards.

To prepare candidates proposing to sit the NHSCSP Training in Cervical Cytology Final Examination by means of lectures, written questions and microscopy workshops. A mock examination is held on the last day and marked by the tutor for feedback to the student and their departmental training officers/assessors.
To test students on various key elements of the two year training programme leading to the final examination and formal registration after successful completion of all elements of the training.
