Description

Are you a trainee clincial scientist or clinical pathologist looking to expand your knowledge in Clinical Biochemistry or a trainee preparing for FRCPath examinations?  If so, the LabMed 2026 Nottingham training course is for you!

The Nottingham 2026 training course has been prepared to provide opportunities to learn about topics not easily covered in textbooks and areas which many clincial scientists have limited exposure to during their training.  Subject areas include “How to write a successful business case”, Development of Specifications and Scoring of Tender responses in addition to Laboratory Network Arrangements.  Clinical topics will include National Screening Programmes, the Biochemistry and Management of Lipid Disorders in addition to Paediatric Endocrinology.  Course content will be delivered by a combination of lectures and interactive workshops so that delegates will have the oportunity to apply the information from the course to real-case scenarios and clinical cases which you may encounter in your role as a clincial scientist or chemical pathologist.

The training course will be held at the Jubilee Hotel and Conference Centre which is situated within a 65-acre lakeside landscape 10 minutes from J25 of the M1 and close to Nottingham city centre.  There is free on site-parking for all delegates and easy access to the Nottingham train and bus stations.
