Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

This joint BDIAP–BAGP symposium is primarily for histopathologists and allied scientists. Its theme, “Stains to Sequencing”, examines how immunohistochemistry and genomics support diagnosis across cervical, vulval, uterine, endometrial and ovarian pathology.

The first day contains specialist lectures on cervical adenocarcinoma, vulval squamous disease, uterine mesenchymal tumours, ovarian neoplasms, diagnostic and prognostic markers and molecular classification of endometrial cancer, followed by a networking reception. Saturday is built around 12 faculty-led diagnostic case presentations.

The meeting takes place at 10 Union Street in London on 4–5 December. Eventbrite lists tickets from £75 to £350; IAP and BAGP members are eligible for member rates. Royal College of Pathologists CPD credit has been sought but was not yet confirmed, so the draft is not marked accredited.

A provisional programme PDF is linked from the official BDIAP page, alongside speaker profiles, registration, venue and bursary pages. Delegates must agree to the BDIAP event-etiquette policy when registering.
