Trainee Tutorial > Trainee Educational Series by Dr William Merchant

Session Details

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great summer.

I’m delighted to be able to announce that our next talk in the BSD Educational Series for Trainees will be taking place on Thursday 28 September at 1pm BST. It will be taken by Dr William Merchant, a highly experienced dermatopathologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, so we are very fortunate that he has agreed to give up his time for this event. Dr Merchant has chosen a selection of his own cases to share with us for this session.

Just to add that I will stepping down from this post in October, so this is likely the last session that I will be Chairing, and I hope that someone will be appointed in my stead to take over the reins shortly. If anyone would be interested in this role then please get in touch with myself (e.l.clarke@leeds.ac.uk or Dr Motta, the President of the BSD on luisa.motta@nca.nhs.uk).

As always feel free to forward these details onto your colleagues, but please refrain from posting the open zoom link on open social media outlets.

Looking forward to you joining us at the next session!

Emily Clarke

Trainee Representative of the BSD
