Microbiology webinars for trainees

Following feedback from members, we are trying a new format for delivering training this year, replacing the in-person Microbiology training day at LabMedUK with free monthly webinars. The topics have been suggested by members and are delivered by senior clinical scientists and colleagues. In the final webinar of the year, trainees have the opportunity to present recent audits.
