From Pathology to Pizza: Highlights from the European Congress of Pathology, Florence, 2024
ECP, Florence, another great opportunity to mix networking, work and sightseeing in a jam-packed week. “Unfortunately” there were no direct flights to Florence from Birmingham. This therefore required me to travel to Florence via Pisa the day before the conference. This allowed me to visit the iconic leaning tower, which certainly didn’t fail to impress. From there, it was a scenic 50-minute journey on a double-decker train to Florence. Read MoreLink opens in a new window
TIA Work Experience Summer Placement
