Programme

Regrettably, we received late notice that Professor Van Tam will not be able to attend the meeting as guest speaker.  This is because he is key to the vaccine announcements and as a result, his calendar had to be cleared.

Professor Jo Martin, National Specialty Advisor for Pathology NHS England and Improvement, will cover the talk.

Please see the revised programme.
