Calling all Residents! The UK Liver Pathology Group in conjunction with the Royal College of Pathologists are pleased to announce the return of our virtual bitesize webinars. We are now planning a regular session, hosted on alternate months, covering different aspects of Liver Pathology. Given the variability in exposure to liver pathology during training across the UK, some of the cases discussed will include FRCPath part 2 style cases, but also cover entities which pathologists may come across regularly as part of their working practice.
Each 1 hour webinar session will be hosted by the UKLPG resident representatives, and presented by an expert in the field of liver pathology. We plan to cover a different theme in each session, including case based discussions in addition to hints and tips in how to approach the cases. There will also be the opportunity for delegates to pose questions to the speakers via the Q&A function. Where possible, we aim to provide attendees with the opportunity to view the digital slides before each session.
Each sessions is due to be recorded (with the speakers’ agreement), and the videos made available to facilitate anyone who may not be able to attend live.
These sessions are free to attend and is aimed at Resident pathologists in training.
Overview
This session will cover how to approach the medical liver biopsy to help identify the key features required to help formulate a differential diagnosis. It will also include evaluation of the liver special stains and how these can aid in supporting a diagnosis.
This event will take place at 12:30pm and last approximately 1 hour.

Dr Zeba Ahmed
CHAIR
I am a histopathology registrar based in the West Midlands. I've always had a keen interest in liver pathology even in my past life as a surgical trainee. With my current role a UKLPG trainee representative, I'm hoping to continue to improve access and promote interest in this subspecialty.
