THE MICROBIOLOGY SOCIETY WILL BE HOLDING A SERIES OF WEBINARS SUPPORTING THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASPECT OF ITS KNOCKING OUT AMR PROJECT. THE AIM OF THESE WEBINARS IS TO ACT AS A CONDUIT FOR CROSS-DISCIPLINARY KNOWLEDGE SHARING WITH SESSIONS AROUND CONCEPTS SUCH AS WHAT VARIOUS AMR STAKEHOLDERS WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW.

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 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.

ROSE is an expanding field particularly in head and neck, EBUS and EUS. The benefits of ROSE are well documented and multiple guidelines for best practice promote ROSE. Appropriate planning of services and training of staff is essential for any service to run safely and effectively. This course will aim to help staff providing the service to understand its many.
These training days are suitable for those preparing for the IBMS ROSE qualification but are equally suited to those who just want to learn more about the service they are helping to provide. The course covers core medical, technical, and morphological aspects of head and neck, EBUS and EUS ROSE.
We have organised these days so that participants can attend the whole course or just selected days.

This course is aimed at Biomedical Scientists preparing for their specialist portfolios and working in histopathology departments involved in the preparation of routine histological sections. The course may also be useful for support staff involved in section preparation and quality control. The course aims to teach recognition of a range of tissues and how knowing these can impact on patient quality. The afternoon session will aim to link what has been learned to consequences for the lab and patient management.

Two days scientific conference for participants enrolled in Weqas EQA programmes. Targeted learning consisting of EQA interpretation, clinical cases and topical scientific lectures.

The EM Spring 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.
