Events in 2024

At our next training for trainers event, we will be giving information on the updated registration training portfolio (V5) and how to use OneFile.

This one-hour focused webinar will include the following subject matter:
• Brief discussion of the types of cytology cell blocks often requiring ICC demonstration
• Discussion of how cell block preparation influences optimal ICC staining performance
• Discussion of how to avoid or troubleshoot the most common ICC staining problems in cell blocks
• An outline of potential for false positive and negative results and regulatory compliance if performing ICC with companion diagnostics
• An outline of validation required and quality measures suitable for monitoring performance

This webinar provides an in-depth focus on the recognition and prevention of technical issues that occur in ICC, and guidance on ways to ensure ICC quality in diagnostic Cellular Pathology.

This webinar and associated microscope workshop, introduces the four basic tissue types: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue, and provides basic knowledge and competence in the microscopic recognition of normal histological tissue and some key aspects of pathological tissue. Utilises presentations, hands on and discussion-based sessions.

This focussed webinar discusses the importance of constant review of data collected during audit and day-to-day work activities, to look for trends and subsequently ensure continuous improvement.

ENGAGING WITH THE MEDIA (A FREE WEBINAR FOR MEMBERS)

THE IRISH DIVISION OF THE MICROBIOLOGY SOCIETY INVITES YOU TO JOIN IT IN ATHLONE, FOR A ONE AND A HALF DAY MEETING THAT IS FOCUSED ON THE BEST OF MICROBIOLOGY ON THE ISLAND OF IRELAND, BUILDING NEW RELATIONSHIPS AND REAFFIRMING THOSE ALREADY ESTABLISHED.
AT THE MEETING YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT SOME OF THE FANTASTIC MICROBIOLOGY RESEARCH THAT IS HAPPENING ACROSS A DIVERSE RANGE OF TOPICS, REFLECTING THE IDEA THAT INTERDISCIPLINARITY CAN BROADEN HORIZONS AND OPEN NEW DOORS TO BREAKTHROUGHS.

Join Us for a Virtual Conference this November! The Royal College of Pathologists, in partnership with the British Society for Haematology, presents a virtual conference for International Pathology Day (IPD) on ‘The global rise of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).’

Special Guest Speaker: Professor Dame Sally Davies, UK Special Envoy on Antimicrobial Resistance, will engage in a thought-provoking conversation with the President and Vice President for Communications of the Royal College of Pathologists.

In addition to this you can look forward to:

Insightful talks from global experts, a roundtable discussion on “Global Perspectives on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and a poster competition which is open to entries until midnight Wednesday 23 October.

Don’t miss out on this eye-opening event!

This webinar provides a focus on the more advanced ICC/ISH applications currently being utilised in diagnostic Cellular Pathology. Delegates will acquire the knowledge on the use of routine diagnostic ICC and drug aligned companion diagnostic assays used Utilises presentations, and discussion-based sessions.

An educational day for Point of Care staff, Biomedical Scientists and Clinical teams to network, learn new skills and visit an exhibition of all the latest technologies.
