The London GI PATHOLOGY Update 2025 is again a hybrid event, expanding further to four full days. It will take place from Tuesday 29th April to Friday 2nd May 2025 at the Barbican Centre, London.

Tuesday and Wednesday’s talks will deal mainly with Gastrointestinal Pathology while Friday’s will focus on Liver/Pancreatobiliary Disease. The programme on Thursday covers a mixture of both. You can choose to attend in person or to watch live streams or recordings.

The faculty includes previous participants as well as many new speakers from the UK, Europe and the USA. As always, they are enthusiastic experts who have a strong interest in education and deliver high quality lectures regularly.

The event concentrates on Diagnostic Cellular Pathology, and the talks will include updates on new developments and concepts to complement existing knowledge.

Anyone who reports gastrointestinal and/or hepatopancreatobiliary pathology will benefit from attending the event. Please register to take part in an enjoyable and informative congress with top quality experts from around the world.

Histopathologists and gastrointestinal pathologists

Consultants and trainees in pathology

Biomedical scientists involved in GI specimen analysis

Academic researchers in gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatobiliary pathology

Healthcare professionals seeking CPD-accredited updates in GI pathology
