POCT Innovators events bring together leaders in point-of-care diagnostics to share best practice, discuss hot topics and hear from speakers across the POCT community. The event will be supported by industry leaders including a large exhibition of the latest innovations in medical devices and diagnostic tests.From hospital to community, roles are changing and services are expanding. The focus of this meeting will be the effective provision of point of care across the healthcare landscape, ensuring quality and governance remain at the heart of what we do, ensuring optimised patient care.

This in-person master class from UK NEQAS begins with a discussion of preparation techniques for the most encountered cytology specimens, benign cells found in these samples and the most encountered malignancies.

This in-person master class from UK NEQAS will include discussion on specimens obtained using radiological guidance as part of ROSE (rapid on-site evaluation) service, and will look at preparation methods, cell morphology and quality issues. Utilising presentations, hands on and discussion-based sessions.

Looking at a range of normal tissues and discussing the histological changes observed during malignancy that provide the ability to identify the presence of tumours. This focussed webinar will be looking at a range of normal tissues with a discussion on the histological changes observed during malignancy that provide the ability to identify the presence of tumours.
