“In microscopy, we enter into a whole new world of realities. A world that is equally organised and structured like the one we see with the unaided eyes. In microscopy we find a gold standard for modern diagnostic technologies because one cannot object to what one has seen!”
Dr Samuel Boadi
Teaching Programme Manager
Welcome
UK NEQAS Parasitology Teaching Programme
The UK NEQAS Parasitology Teaching Programme organises regional courses in different geographical areas throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The regional venues endeavour to cover the wider areas where our UK NEQAS Parasitology participants are employed. Currently, the following locations are used: Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, Dundee, Exeter, London, Preston and Newcastle.
The programme offers an independent one-day practical course covering faecal parasites, designed for Microbiologists and a separate one-day practical course covering blood and tissue parasites, designed for Haematologists. All of the regional courses conform to the same delivery format. Participants are provided with the following as and when needed: Handouts, teaching sheets, bench manuals and pre-prepared slides to take back to their place of work. Guidance is available at all time during the practical microscopy sessions.
The main objective of these courses is to provide both educational and practical support to our participants.
Enrolment is through UK NEQAS Microbiology registration process. For more information on registering and costs please email organiser@ukneqasmicro.org.uk
