Phadia Academy is an online learning platform by Thermo Fisher Scientific aimed at Lab staff primarily BMSes in Immunology Labs. It includes courses for autoimmune diseases, allergy, and our instruments. We would like to have it as a link on the IBMS webpage, as it was in previous years.

THE EVENT SEEKS TO PROVIDE NETWORKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ANYONE WORKING IN INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL, INFECTIOUS DISEASES, CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE.

Dates: 14/11/2023-15/11/2023 AND 17/11/2023

This course is designed for those studying for their specialist portfolio in haematology, but is suitable as a refresher for those returning to the subject or an update for those already qualified.

Day one deals with the proper use and care of the microscope, staining and stain QC/ trouble shooting and normal haematopoiesis. This day will contain a workshop on normal morphology.

Day two will discuss the pre-analytical variables that can affect the sample and result, disease process and the associated morphological abnormalities and the clinical significance of the generated report for the patient, be it negative or abnormal.

These two days can be taken together or individually as suits the learners needs.
