Where's my Biopsy Result? - An event for medical students
2pm-4.30pm
What happens to a surgical specimen once it's been removed from a patient? It goes to the lab and a result appears several days later. But what happens to it there and why does it take so long?
This is an opportunity to see what happens and have a go at making slides yourself. By learning how specimens are processed you will be able to gain a better understanding of the reports that are produced. You could probably teach your fellow students a thing or two!
