slide meeting, Bury St Edmunds

Nick Woodger of VLA Bury St Edmunds currently organises an informal quarterly slide meeting at the VLA in Bury. Although the meeting is primarily for VLA pathologists, it is also open to other pathologists.

The meeting works on the basis of “turn up and show your case(s)” and if there were a large number of participants (i.e. more than 10 people), a Coolscope would be used.

Nick has issued a general invitation for any BSVP members in the area who wish to attend.

If you wish to be kept informed of future meetings please contact Nick or the BSVP Secretariat.
