The standard of poster presentations was extremely high, making it very difficult to pick the winners. I particularly enjoyed the variety of talks - a mixture of case reports, audits and mini research projects. The future of pathology is in safe hands!

Our 8 brilliant poster presenters and 3 outstanding prize winners - look out for their presentations in ACPNews soon! Many thanks to @ACP_Pathologist for generously sponsoring the competition and to judges @matt83c and @ilovepathology #P2S24
