17th March 2009

at the Royal College of Pathologists, 2, Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AF

(Directions available here)

Laboratory Techniques: From Cut-Up Bench to Microscope Stage

This is an ideal revision day for trainees at all stages, as well as those preparing to sit the MRCPath Part 2. It will cover practical aspects of laboratory techniques, a subject not covered in depth by other teaching courses. The day will include an introduction to the additional techniques that are routinely used in our day-to-day practice, such as immunocytochemistry and special stains. There will also be a session on frozen sections, to include a slide seminar for which slides will be available to preview prior to the course.
