First
British Society for Dermatopathology Self Assessment
Half Day
Jurys Inn Hotel, Liverpool
Monday, 8th July
2013
Please
click the following link in order to view the self
assessment cases:
http://www.virtualpathology.leeds.ac.uk/eqa/bsd_sa.php
Each virtual slide
image can be seen either by clicking “open with
WebScope” or “open with ImageScope”. Although
WebScope provides satisfactory images,
ImageScope is better but requires downloading
the free Aperio software on to your computer –
try clicking on open with ImageScope and fill in
the brief Aperio form if you do not have the
software already installed. For those using NHS
or other networked computers, you may need to
contact your IT department to permit downloading
of the program and then they may need to make
sure the sis files are opened by default with
the scanscope program within imagescope.
You
will find that many of the cases are not
orientated correctly (we are trying to resolve
this – it is due to variable section placement
by lab staff).
If you are using
ImageScope to view the virtual slides
it is very
easy to rotate the image to the required
orientation.
Having opened the image, in the tool bar (top
left) select the "Image" button and then "Rotate
Image".
This activates a tool box which allows you to
rotate the image as required
This is the
afternoon before the Annual Meeting of the BSD at
the 93rd Annual Meeting of the British
Association of Dermatologists (BAD) at the adjacent
ACC Liverpool.
The Self
Assessment is a stand alone meeting and if also
attending the main BAD conference both can be booked
from the same registration form which is available
below
Please click here for the
BSD self assessment registration form
Please click here for the
BAD registration form
The Self
Assessment registration is found on page 3 of the
registration form under “Pre-conference sessions”
and does not require sponsorship by a BAD member.
Most
pathologists and dermatologists attending the BAD
conference on the Tuesday attend for the whole day
so non-BAD members pay a Day Delegate Non-Member
rate of £150 which includes the BSD meeting
(although it can also be booked separately).
This requires
non-member sponsorship with a signature by a BAD
member on the registration form; most dermatologists
are happy to sponsor.
This is a whole
day with an emphasis on dermatopathology and is good
opportunity for pathologists to see their subject in
a more clinically orientated environment.
The Clinicopathological cases take
place throughout the morning with the Neil Smith
lecture for the BSD to be given at lunchtime
followed by the BSD AGM and BSD guest lecture.
This year we are
lucky to have
Prof Wolter Mooi giving the Neil Smith lecture and
the BSD guest lecture.

Melanocytic lesions and Granulomatous and
necrobiotic disorders.
The day has an interactive format,
viewing histology slides on microscopes, supervised by
dermatopathologists, followed by case-based teaching
from national and local experts.
Cases will be of varying difficulty
from beginner to expert level. Beginners will maximise
the day’s educational value if they read a basic
dermatopathology textbook and make a prior attempt to
see routine cases with their local histopathologists.
There will also be self-assessment
cases for more advanced trainees.
The meeting will commence at
9.00am (provisional program below). The venue is
Medical Sciences Teaching Laboratories, University of
Bristol (see below for link).

Edinburgh Dermatopathology
Tutorial 2013
"Practical
Approach to the Diagnosis of Melanocytic Tumours"
organized by T Brenn and J Goodlad
June 13 and 14, 2013
The Roxburghe Hotel, Edinburgh, Scotland
This year's invited guest speakers
include:
Klaus Busam (New York, NY)
Richard Scolyer (Sydney, Australila)
Eduardo Calonje (London, England)
The Edinburgh Dermatopathology Tutorial is an annual
course designed to provide a practical approach to
different topics in Dermatopathology, delivered by
extensive self study of a large and varied selection of
cases using virtual glass slides. This year’s course
aims to increase awareness of the vast spectrum of
cutaneous melanocytic tumours. Attendees will be invited
to view 60 challenging and instructive cases ahead of
the meeting using scanned virtual slides made available
through a web server. These cases will be discussed at
the course by our group of internationally renowned
tutors. Discussion will be based around the individual
diagnosis placed in the broader context of differential
diagnosis. In a relaxed atmosphere participants will be
encouraged to participate in the discussion and suggest
possible diagnoses. To facilitate the discussion, tutors
will provide an overview of the wide spectrum of
melanocytic tumours with emphasis on recent diagnostic
advances. Electronic copies of all case discussions and
lectures will be made available after the course. The
course is suited to Pathologists with an interest in
Dermatopathology as well as practising
Dermatopathologists and Dermatologists and Pathologists
in training preparing for the British Diploma, the
International Board Certification and/or the American
Board examination in Dermatopathology

Florence, Italy
The scientic programme will include
focus sessions on particular issues
of inflammatory and neoplastic
dermatopathology, clinicopathologic
conferences, and a self-assessment
course. A panel of world-leading
experts will give us the opportunity
to interactively debate challenging
cases of difficult melanocytic
proliferations in a friendly and informal
atmosphere. Clues to diagnosis of
cutaneous lymphomas and use of
ancillary techniques in routine
practice will be illustrated.
