Events during July 2024

THIS WEBINAR EXPLORES THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTEXT WHEN USING NEW DIGITAL MORPHOLOGY PLATFORMS. UNDERSTAND THE CLINICAL CONTEXT SURROUNDING EACH BLOOD SAMPLE. PLUS, DISCOVER A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON WHY CONTEXTUAL AWARENESS REMAINS THE CORNERSTONE OF MORPHOLOGICAL HAEMATOLOGY.

This one-hour focused webinar will include the following subject matter:
• A discussion of the UK NEQAS CPT expected optimal staining criteria for haematoxylin and eosin stains
• A discussion about the importance of each individual step in an H&E staining protocol
• An outline of the major causes of variable H&E staining
• An outline of how H&E assessment is performed by UK NEQAS CPT
• Presentation and analysis of data derived from UK NEQAS CPT assessments
• A discussion of how training/re-training can improve H&E staining performance
• Discussion of how to avoid or troubleshoot the most common staining problems
• An outline of possible quality measures suitable for monitoring performance
• Review of a gallery of H&E staining examples of varying quality

The Conference is a two-day event with a dinner in the evening of day one. Each day comprises presentations from well-known speakers, members papers and posters

This webinar discusses the importance of using control material in the laboratory and how to verify control material.

Discussion of preparation techniques for the most commonly encountered cytology specimens. Benign cell found in these samples and the most commonly encountered malignancies.

The Light Microscopy summer school is an annual, residential two day course held at the University of York covering the principles of light microscopy. Participants are also trained in practical issues surrounding light microscopy. After introductory presentations, the course is taught predominantly through hands-on practical sessions.

This practical workshop will include specimens obtained using radiological guidance as part of ROSE (rapid on-site evaluation) service, and will look at preparation methods, cell morphology and quality issues. Utilises presentations, hands on and discussion-based sessions.

This webinar provides an in depth knowledge of the staining applications and principles employed to classify and demonstrate lipids, common infective agents, pigments, and minerals. Utilises presentations, hands on and discussion-based sessions.

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 course will provide an in depth knowledge of the more advanced uses of IHC and participants will leave having gained the skills to perform and manipulate IHC on tissue to identify complex/three different antigens/cellular components in a single tissue section.
