BRITISH SOCIETY OF TOXICOLOGICAL PATHOLOGYContinuing Education Symposium 12:
Musculoskeletal System, Skin and Mammary Gland
University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Tuesday 10th – Thursday 12th July 201817 hours of educational activity will be recorded on Attendance Certificates
Approved by the Royal Society of Biology for the purposes of CPD, this event may be counted as 51 credits
Continuing Education Symposium Objective:
The aim of the Continuing Education Symposium programme is to provide an interactive environment to enhance yourknowledge in the field of toxicological, discovery, clinical, experimental or veterinary pathology. The series ofContinuing Education Symposiums are designed to refresh participants’ knowledge and understanding of core
principles, as well as discuss any important recent advances.
Continuing Education Symposium Description:
The British Society of Toxicological Pathology offers Continuing Education Symposiums focusing on specific organsystems. This symposium (the final one in this series) will provide an in-depth coverage of musculoskeletal system,skin and mammary gland pathology and will aim to cover an overview of bone and joint biology; bone and joint
pathology in rodents and non-rodents; animal models of joint disease, the role of inflammation in tendon disease;animals models of muscular dystrophy; pathology of the skeletal muscle in rodents and non-rodents; skin pathology
in rodents and non-rodents; dermal studies; mammary gland pathology in rodents and non-rodents; in addition tocase discussions, this symposium will also include INHAND nomenclature for bone and joints, skeletal muscle, skin andmammary gland.
The format will include presentations and will require the active participation of delegates. The Continuing Education
Symposium will be of 3 days duration and the programme is arranged such that each individual day can be attended
as stand-alone CPD if desired.
Who should attend:
The Continuing Education Symposium programme is intended for toxicological and discovery pathologists (and otherscientists working with animal models), clinical pathologists and toxicologists including non-clinical regulatory
scientists. As well as providing CPD for experienced members of the profession, the symposium is open tostudents/residents and those at the start of their pathology career. The aim is to make the content relevant to boththose who have been working for a number of years and who feel they can benefit from an update (as well as
contributing their experience to the group discussions that will take place) and those who are in the early stages of
their careers.
Continuing Education Symposium Location:
The symposium will be held in Cambridge, detailed travel and accommodation information will be available to those
who register for this event.
Continuing Professional Development:
17 hours of educational activity will be recorded on Attendance Certificates. For those delegates who wish toself accredit for CPD, proof of attendance should be retained for this purpose.

33rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the BSTP
Mouse Models of Disease
Thursday 15th & Friday 16th November 2018
Cambridge, UK
The BSTP's 33rd Annual Scientific Meeting (including the AGM) will cover the topic of mouse pathology. Based on theapproach of previous mouse pathology meetings organised by the Wellcome Trust, this meeting will aim to have a mixof talks to enable those in the early stages of their career to learn about pathology basics including terminology andnecropsy; the basics of necropsy approach and sample collection; collecting and handling samples and recording
pathology data; commonly used mouse strains and common phenotypes; infectious diseases that can affectphenotypes; planning for the unexpected - ASPA. For more experienced pathologists, the aim is to enable you torefresh your knowledge on the basics, whilst including talks on CRISPR/Cas9 technology; immuno-oncology andbiologic effects; and tissue based genetic studies.
Registration for this symposium will open in April 2018.
