We would like to draw your attention to the meeting taking place on Thursday 27 November 2025 at the Royal College of Pathologists in London (in-person event only). This is a collaborative event between the LabMed Trainees’ Committee and the RCPath and will include the Freddie Flynn lecture. As such the day will be made up of two parts, the first part of the day is aimed at trainees (from STP through to pre-Consultant) and the second half of the day is open to all, and will include the Freddie Flynn Lecture.
