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.

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

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

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:
• 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

A daylong short course aimed at current or prospective trainers in diagnostic laboratories.
