Events in 2024

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.

The EM Summer School aims to provide a basic training in both the theory and practice of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The course covers imaging, diffraction and chemical microanalysis as well as the highly important area of sample preparation.

A one-day face-to-face masterclass with the aim of guiding and empowering applicants in the process of preparing and completing their professional registration application/competence report.

We have organised a collection of engaging and informative sessions, that will run from March to December 2024, covering topics including neurodiversity in the workplace, inter-professional learning, returning to practice, and leadership in pathology.

The course will provide a sound knowledge of the basics behind IHC and participants will leave having gained the skills to perform and manipulate IHC on tissue to identify one antigen/cellular component in a single tissue section.

On completion of this webinar students will have a basic knowledge of Principles of immunofluorescence, Optimal specimen preparation for DIF, Practical aspects of cryotomy and processing, DIF imaging considerations, Interpretation of DIF, Diagnostic implications of DIF findings.

This year, Sue Jones from the IBMS is organising a series of Training Officer Support Forums, to take place on the first Tuesday lunchtime of every month.

This webinar introduces the selection and use of appropriate fixatives for sample preparation, the rationale of tissue selection, processing and embedding procedures and theory, including performing decalcification, and the use of a microtome for tissue section preparation. Utilises presentations, and discussion-based sessions.
