Events during June 2025

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

This webinar 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.

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.

Designed for Immunology Laboratory Managers, Clinical Scientists and Biomedical Scientists with an appetite to embrace change, incorporate technology and develop their team.

By combining a variety of topics to proactively improve the provision of immunology services within your organisation, this networking conference is not to be missed. Come together with like-minded colleagues to pause and reflect on how to improve quality, action change locally and offer opportunities for growth to your team.

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.

Three one day update courses, suitable for experienced personnel, or if you are working towards the DEP or ASD qualification. Each day separately covers urine cytology, respiratory tract and serous effusions and includes lectures, workshops, multi-header sessions and self-assessment cases.

The content of the workshop has been mapped to sections 7A of the specialist portfolio as detailed in the programme.

This day has been designed specifically for those working towards the scientist reporting qualification and approaching or contemplating undertaking their stage A examination.
The day has been developed by Karen Ezard, Laura Saberton, Vicki Martin who have experience in and have qualified through to stage D.

There are Gastro-intestinal, Gynaecology and Skin sessions which will run concurrently.

This is an exam preparation course. There will be advice and useful hints and tips from those that have taken the examinations along with an opportunity to discuss submitting a successful portfolio but it is not a morphology course. Participants will undertake a mock examination based around cases that might easily appear in the exam. Individual detailed feedback on performance will be provided to each candidate after the course either by e-mail or MS Teams, as per individual request.

The programme has been updated to make it also suitable for those studying for the limited scope reporting options.

THE EARLY CAREER SUMMER CONFERENCE IS A MEETING RAN ANNUALLY BY THE MICROBIOLOGY SOCIETY THAT AIMS TO PROVIDE A LAUNCH PAD FOR EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS AND MICROBIOLOGISTS INTO THE WORLD OF SCIENTIFIC MEETING POSTER AND TALK PRESENTATIONS. THE CONFERENCE SESSIONS ARE DETERMINED BY THE EARLY CAREER FORUM WHICH TAKES INTO CONSIDERTION THE CAREER DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS AND NEEDS OF ITS MEMBERS TO CREATE A MEETING SPECIFIC TO THEM.

A summer school designed for students considering a medical education. The program consists of interactive lectures and hands on workshops to help students develop clinical skills.
