This 2 days course gives an overview of each step of a complete sequencing workflow: from considerations for experimental design; choice of sample preparation method and sequencer; to challenges of data analysis. A participant will have an opportunity to discuss their future projects with our experts and have a chance to set up a sequencing run.
The training will take place at one of Illumina Solution Centre.
Target audience: Biomedical scientists who have no or very limited experience with Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), but who would like to gain an understanding of the technology.

BSH 2020 promises to include celebrations reflecting 60 years of achievements in haematology whilst also looking forward to an exciting future. The programme will focus on developing national and international partnerships which enable outstanding science to transform patient care.

The IBMS Biopod is a monthly podcast for members. Each episode will feature experts from the field discussing their research and talking about the latest developments.

The IBMS South East Wales branch invites you to an evening lecture

This year the RCPath and UK Liver Pathology Group are working together to provide a two-day course of lectures and practical experience in liver pathology. Delegates have the option of attending either or both of the days

This 2 day residential course is delivered by the UK Anaerobe Reference Unit (UKARU) aimed at Scientists and Medical professionals seeking to expand their knowledge of all aspects of anaerobic bacteria.

A day spent looking at the latest in genomic technology and how it relates to the clinical microbiology laboratory. How accurate is it, do we trust the results it provides us with, how do we interpret the information and results obtained.
Listen to the latest information on clinical/infectious disease topics that are presenting currently in the field of clinical microbiology with the opportunity to listen to leading experts and latest opinions on current trends and how to address them in the laboratory and in the field.
Improvement in knowledge use of genomic technologies and how they can be applied in the clinical laboratory of infections.
Application of these new technologies have been developed for use in routine investigation and utilisation of clinical infections.
The chance to interact with commercial companies and see the latest technology available on the market.
Opportunity to speak with key opinion leaders in this field.
This will help with the attendees develop in the following key learning areas
- Be able to analyse the data/information presented and develop science-based solutions that could be incorporated to enhance current laboratory methods
- Enable the creation of cohesive and persuasive arguments to allow project work to be undertaken to introduce new processes to the laboratory
- To integrate knowledge, analyse and evaluate the information presented in the light of own current knowledge of respiratory infections.
- Utilisation of new technologies within the Microbiology laboratory to improve the current service provided
- Take information /knowledge gained back to the laboratory to cascade to colleagues in the format of presentation or group discussion
