Specialist protein assays and interpretation
Biochemistry training day
The afternoon sessions will be more clinical, focusing on interpretation of specialist test results, including CSF xanthochromia and special proteins. The structure of the workshop will be a mixture of teaching and examples for delegates to work through. The aim is to develop interpretative skills in assays that trainees may not routinely be exposed to, and is ideal for those in training or studying for exams.
