Welcome to the 2nd joint RSM and Pathological Society winter meeting!
This year's theme is “Let’s talk about Precision Pathology!”. During this two day meeting, delegates will be updated on the importance of precision pathology in a range of areas, including accurate diagnoses across a wide spectrum of neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions, and subsequent patient treatment and management.
Delegates will get an insight into exciting emerging novel technologies that are already being used, and others that are soon to be incorporated into routine pathology. Experienced pathologists will look at how the resultant data from these technologies can be analysed via Computational Pathology, and incorporated into ‘real time’ and ‘real world’ systems.
Finally, delegates will hear about how innovative technologies (e.g. 3D printing and Virtual Reality) can be used to enhance pathology teaching and training at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Topics include:
- The importance of ‘precision pathology’ in ‘personalised medicine’
- The increasing range of molecular tests being applied across neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions, improving the precision of diagnosis and patient management
- The importance of equal access to molecular testing across the UK for both genders
- Emerging novel technologies that may soon be incorporated into routine pathology, and the new data interpretation opportunities these will provide
- Examples of novel methodologies of pathology training
