Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

This two-day joint event from the Royal Society of Medicine and the Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland is a strong conference-scale pathology meeting with research presentation opportunities. It focuses on how human experimental models, tissue samples, complex datasets, disease modelling, artificial intelligence and clinical trials support discovery and translation into patient benefit. The programme includes named symposia on pathology big data, precision pathology, pathology in transition, inflamed tissue microenvironments and disease modelling using patient-derived tissue, plus poster viewing, trade exhibition time, rapid-fire oral presentations, prize sessions and a conference dinner. The event is aimed at diagnostic and research pathologists, resident doctors in histopathology, scientists, researchers, clinicians and undergraduate students. Abstract submission is explicitly open via the linked PathSoc route, with a deadline of 2 October 2026 and acceptance notifications due 13 November 2026. RSM states registration closes at 01:00 on 18 January 2027 and late registrations will not be accepted. The public abstract portal returned a server error during this scrape, so detailed word limits and category rules were not visible.
