SOLVING THE ENIGMA OF THE LIVER BIOPSY – VIRTUAL EVENT
06/05/2022
Following excellent feedback during our inaugural "Solving the Enigma of the Liver biopsy" course in 2021, for 2022 we have revised the programme, aiming to cover other aspects within the specialty of liver pathology based on delegates feedback. This virtual liver day is aimed at consultant and SAS who report liver biopsies as part of their everyday workload, and senior trainees who may wish to enhance their understanding of liver pathology.
This course should provide updates and advancements on areas of liver pathology which can sometimes be found more challenging, focussing predominantly on medical liver, but also briefly touching on neoplastic pathology with regards to the diagnosis of hepatocellular lesions. The invited speakers are all experts within their field. At the end of each session there will be an opportunity for delegates to ask questions to the speakers.
