The Monday programme
Scientific programme sponsor
At the IBMS we know it is difficult for people to be given time away from the laboratory.
Two of our most popular lecture programmes – Education & Management and Quality Management - will be offered over two days from Monday afternoon, in advance of the main lecture programmes. Whilst the popular Cellular Pathology tissue recognition workshop will take place in the afternoon.
If you are joining us for the Monday afternoon programme you can conclude your day at Congress at the ever-popular Welcome Evening.
Please note
Lunch is not provided on Monday, afternoon refreshments will be served instead. The exhibition will not be available until it opens on Tuesday morning.

Learning outcomes
ISO15189 has been the mainstay of pathology accreditation globally and has entered a review period. The purpose of the standard is not actually as an accrediting document, but as a guide to the minimum requirements for competence and quality in medical laboratories.
This session will describe the progress made in the updated version, including why it is being updated as well as an indication on what to expect from the new version as well as the plans to support medical laboratories in the adopted and roll out. A good example of one of the changes is that point of care testing will now be part of the main standard once it is released.
