SUMMARY:International Pathology Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:The rise of global Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)\nAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing global health challenges the world faces today. The prediction is that unless we take urgent action\, 10 million people each year could die from the effects of AMR by 2050. \nThis issue affects everyone\, everywhere\, regardless of income status or nationality. From misuse and overuse of antibiotics\, lack of clean water and inadequate healthcare infrastructure\, the causes of AMR are complicated and critical. \nWe are honoured to welcome Professor Dame Sally Davies\, the UK’s Special Envoy on Antimicrobial Resistance\, as a special guest at our upcoming event. Professor Davies will open the conference in a discussion with Dr Noha El Sakka OBE\, Vice President for Communications alongside Dr Bernie Croal\, College President. This discussion will emphasise the critical importance of international collaboration and adopting a One Health approach in combating AMR. \nJoin us and our sponsor the British Society for Haematology (BSH) online on Wednesday 6 November\, to celebrate International Pathology Day as we explore the rise of global antimicrobial resistance. \nInternational Pathology Day has been recognised by pathology and laboratory medicine institutions worldwide for over a decade. It marks the contribution and achievements of pathology and laboratory medicine services that address global health challenges and improve the health outcomes of global communities. \nThe programme for our virtual conference will include: \nSpeakers\n\nProfessor Dame Sally Davies\, UK’s Special Envoy on Antimicrobial Resistance\nProfessor Clare Chandler\, Medical Anthropologist\, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine – UK\nProfessor Walid Al Wali\, Consultant Medical Microbiologist\, Hamad Medical Corporation at Al Wakra Hospital – Qatar\nDr Wael Elamin\, Medical Director\, M42 – UAE\nDr Justin Loke\, CRUK/AACR Transatlantic Fellow\, University of Birmingham\, UK and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute – USA\n\nRoundtable discussion: Global perspectives on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)\nThis year’s roundtable discussion will focus on global perspectives on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)\, drawing inspiration from the 6-part webinar series\, Global Perspectives on AMR\, that ran earlier this summer. We will explore regional challenges and opportunities\, highlight shared experiences and expertise\, discuss the prevalence of AMR across different countries\, and identify key priorities for addressing this urgent issue. \nThe panel\n\nChair: Dr Bernie Croal\, President\, The Royal College of Pathologists – UK\nPanellist: Dr David Jenkins\, Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Virology Lead Infection Control Doctor University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust – UK\nPanellist: Dr Margaret Ip\, Chairman and Clinical Professor\, Faculty of Medicine\, Chinese University of Hong Kong\, HKSAR – Hong Kong\nPanellist: Professor Samuel Taiwo\, Professor and Consultant Clinical Microbiologist\, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology\, Ogbomoso – Nigeria\nPanellist: Professor Daniel Thirion\, Full Clinical Professor\, Pharmacist\, Université de Montréal\, Montreal and McGill University Health Center – Canada\n\nThe poster competition is now closed to entires. This year’s winners will be announced at our virtual conference for International Pathology Day on the 6 November.\nPoster competition – Conquering Superbugs: Innovations in combating Antimicrobial Resistance\nWe invite you to showcase your lab work\, whether individually or as a team\, from around the world and highlight your innovative research across various pathology specialties. \nYou can draw inspiration from this year’s International Pathology Day (IPD) overarching theme ‘The rise of global Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)’ or spotlight any pathology-related work you are especially proud of. \nPosters can be submitted to international@rcpath.org until midnight Wednesday 23 October (BST).  All posters will be displayed digitally on the College website\, and winners will be announced at the International Pathology Day conference on Wednesday 6 November. \nPrizes\n\nFirst prize: £150 and publication of your poster in the College’s Bulletin magazine.\nSecond prize: £50 and featuring of your poster in our post-event blog\, celebrating International Pathology Day 2024.\nThird prize: complimentary tickets to attend the virtual conference for International Pathology Day 2025.\n\nTerms and conditions\nThe full terms and conditions\, which explain in detail what you need to consider and demonstrate in your entry\, are available further down the page.
