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 session is a simple exploration of why reticulin stains are required, what they tell pathologist and how that aids in diagnosing cancers.

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.

An in-depth look at the role of Transmission Electron Microscopy in a modern cellular pathology department. What technical challenges are there in preparing tissue for TEM and what diagnostic challenges does TEM have an important role in.

Specialist practical tuition in the identification of pathogenic fungi for biomedical scientists, clinical scientists and FRCpath candidates.
