We would like to draw your attention to the meeting taking place on Thursday 14^th of November 2024 (09:30 – 16:45) 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.

There is also an opportunity for trainees to present a short case, project or research which should be no longer than 15 minutes in length. For those interested please send your abstracts to Monika Jankute ([email protected]) and Annie Cook ([email protected]) by 5pm on the 27^th September 2024.
