Events in 2024

The event aims to provide delegates with a comprehensive review of how image analysis can enhance Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) in immunohistochemistry (IHC) and will provide participants with an overview of the recent updates to the HER2 scoring guidelines.

This webinar provides a basic introduction and understanding to the theory, principles and application and practical experience in muscle biopsies in diagnostic Cellular Pathology. Utilises presentations, and discussion-based sessions.

A full day of presentations and workshops related to the Biomedical Science profession by IBMS leaders, practitioners and lecturers

The course comprises 5 modules in an on demand, self-led learning format. The on demand learning will be supplemented a one-week programme of live online sessions consisting of online workshops and IPC clinics (Q&A/discussion sessions) with the presenting experts. This will take place over five afternoons in a designated week for each cohort*.

Modules covered:
Basics in IPC - including, isolation, hand hygiene, device-associated infections, respiratory viruses, HCID

Pathogen-based approach to IPC - including epidemiology of common pathogens and the use of typing in outbreak investigation

IPC in the built environment - including ventilation, water management, disinfection and sterilisation

Principles of surveillance and stewardship - including essential tools, surveillance of AMR and stewardship, surveillance applied to HCAI, using data for local action.

Leadership and managing change - including behavioural science, structure of IPC services, communication, sustainability

Estimated time requirements
On demand: Self-led-learning via eLearning platform: approximately 30 - 35 hours (over 6 months from the date of purchase)
Blended: Self-led-learning via eLearning platform: approximately 30 - 35 hours (over 6 months) and Live workshops and IPC clinics: 15 hours (over one week)

A simple exploration of tips and practices that may not be commonly taught in modern training but may help provide an insight into the mechanics of sectioning and help resolve some difficulties encountered when sectioning.

This focus webinar is designed to introduce new personnel and students or qualified scientific staff who wish to learn about the importance of ‘quality’ in their day-to-day work.

Looking at a range of normal tissues and discussing the histological changes observed during malignancy that provide the ability to identify the presence of tumours.

THIS WEBINAR EXPLORES THE CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF SOLUBLE INTERLEUKIN-2 RECEPTOR (SIL-2R) IN IMMUNOLOGICAL DISEASES.

This one-hour focused webinar will include the following subject matter that covers both staining techniques:
- Brief discussion of the types of tissue elements demonstrated and their clinical significance
- An outline of the staining chemistry principles
- An outline of the UK NEQAS CPT expected optimal staining criteria
- Discussion of how failures in the protocol steps affect optimal staining performance
- Presentation of data derived from UK NEQAS CPT assessments
- Discussion of how to avoid or troubleshoot the most common staining problems
- An outline of possible quality measures suitable for monitoring performance
