Opening Ceremony & Plenary Session

Lecture at Congress

If you only attend one event this year it has to be Congress and the plenary session will be the one place that is going to deliver the facts, the reality, the truth.

Dr Ian Barnes, National Clinical Director for Pathology will be heading the programme with Jill Rodney, new Chief Executive of the IBMS, closing with her vision for the future of the Institute.

As the implementation of spending cuts commences and the transformation programme for pathology is implemented this is an opportunity to hear the key people who are shaping the future of pathology and ultimately the profession. This is an essential event, this is the best source of information and debate, this is something the IBMS wants to share with you.
