COUNTDOWN IS ON!
Overview
On behalf of AIMS, I would like to invite members, students, trade and colleagues to join us for the National Scientific Meeting at the Pan Pacific Perth, Western Australia from 16th-18th September 2026. This is a face to face national scientific meeting with the theme of ‘Frontier Pathology (Innovation, Community and Collaboration). We are inviting some exciting speakers on these topics for the benefit of our members. By listening to talks, viewing posters and discussing new ideas can improve your knowledge and awareness of advances in medical laboratory science. The face to face interaction offers exchange of experiences with other colleagues helping you to improve practice in your own laboratory. We will welcome our trade partners to display up to date technology to allow conference participants to learn the new advances in technology and innovation initiatives. This will also be an excellent continuing educational opportunity to obtain CPD points towards your APACE certificate and certification. There will also be opportunity for touring destinations in Western Australia to appreciate its natural landscapes.
