EVENTS: PAST & FUTURE

After the astonishing success of the IBMS Congress 2022, we returned this year to the ICC with a stand that was bigger and better than ever before. In partnership with SLEE Medical GbmH, we showcased more than double the amount of equipment than the previous year, with the introduction of two new equipment lines, the Aquatec Transfer System and Cromatec Automatic Stainer.

The COVID-19 pandemic has put science and scientists, centre stage in a way rarely seen. As well as being our most important forum for developing our professional skills and knowledge, IBMS Congress 2022 will be a true celebration of science in all its variety, influence, potential and impact on society.

We attended the NEQAS Annual Participants Meeting at The Ballsbridge Hotel and Conference Centre, Dublin. It was great to be able to sponsor such an event with the focuses of Optimisation of H&E and Special Stains, Renal, BMT and Mohs’ Scheme Discussion and Expansion at a Time of Consolidations.

This year we will be reflecting the growth of point-of-care testing by devoting a whole day lecture programme to the subject. Another new addition is our first-ever veterinary biomedical science programme that will appeal to everyone – not just those working in veterinary laboratories.

The basic pathological processes workshop is designed to give the attendees an understanding of pathological processes from; inflammation, vascular changes, cell degeneration, cell death to neoplasia and cell proliferation.  A greater understanding of these pathological processes will aid the attendees in their histology/histologist roles.
