Liver transplant pathology:

2020 British Liver Transplant Group Meeting
Liver pathology session: to give an update on Banff 2019.
7th October 2020
There will be a virtual meeting to update us on the outcomes of the Banff 2019 Transplant Pathology meeting, which we just missed out on last year, since it clashed with the BLTG meeting.
This is a standalone transplant pathology meeting. It is of course open to any interested pathologists whether or not they work in liver transplant centres.
Further details and a link for registration are on the Future CPD activities page
