(Last updated: 18 Jan 2022 10:04)
Due to the ongoing uncertainties with the Omicron variant of COVID-19, we have had to take the difficult decision to revert the BDIAP Study Days from face-to-face meetings to entirely virtual events. A full statement on the decision is available on the respective Study Day webpages linked below.
In November 2020, we ran these meetings very successfully in a virtual format and we will be adopting a very similar format in March.
Presentations will be pre-recorded and live Q&A sessions with speakers will take place throughout the meeting.
Discounted registration rates are available for BDIAP Members.
7th March 2022
The 7th BDIAP Molecular Pathology Study Day
Who should attend?
Suitable for Histopathology Consultants and Trainees and for Biomedical Scientists
Aims and Objectives:
- To provide an introduction to molecular diagnostic testing and predictive biomarkers as relevant to histopathologists (both trainees and consultants) in the diagnosis and reporting primarily of malignancies.
- To provide an overview of applications of molecular diagnostics in current pathology practice.
- To illustrate the relevance of molecular pathology in clinical practice with the use of case examples – ‘personalised therapies’, now and in the future.
- Featuring talks focussed on all the major cellular pathology specialties (including respiratory, urological, gastrointestinal, breast, soft tissue, head and neck, haematopathology and introducing a new talk on dermatopathology).
- Also featuring a brand new talk about RCPath and National Strategies for Molecular Pathology!
Delegates will receive a 'Basics of Molecular Pathology' guide which may be useful for those who are very new to this area.

8 March 2022
The 14th BDIAP Approach to Cut-Up Study Day
Who should attend?
Suitable for Histopathology Trainees and Biomedical Scientists
Aims and Objectives:
- To facilitate the trainee histopathologist/biomedical scientist to handle surgical specimens competently and with confidence.
- Focus on the macroscopic examination of the major specimens that are received in the surgical pathology department, and the preparation, examination and cut-up of these specimens.
- Featuring talks on general principles, and the approach to specimens from gastrointestinal, respiratory, urological, haematopathology, head and neck, dermatopathology, endocrine, gynaecological pathology specialties.
- Plenty of images from cases, and 'hints and tips' from international experts to help you with your specimen preparation!
A presentation on General Points, Ethos and Tools (Dr M Clarke) and a presentation on Macroscopic examination for the FRCPath (Dr A McGregor) will be made available to registered delegates in advance of the meeting.
