Meetings

For over 30 years, Scheme participants have met to discuss problems, plan strategies, analyse their performance and just talk to one another at our annual meeting. This gives an opportunity to exchange views, to question the organisers, to listen to and comment on short presentations, and to get to know one's colleagues in other haematology laboratories. We aim to continue this arrangement.  So far there have been five meetings specifically for participants in Ireland who may have difficulty attending meetings in the UK.

The educational element of the meetings is very important and we will continue to invite expert speakers to present up-to-date papers on a variety of relevant topics. The meetings are varied and cover practical, clinical, developmental and theoretical aspects.
