The ever changing COVID situation has encouraged the HGQ Committee to hold off on releasing a date to host the upcoming workshop. This is to ensure the safety of all attendees.
Please stay tuned for an official date in 2022 for this great opportunity to attend the Manual Silver Staining Workshop! Take a look at the flyer to see what will be involved.

The Histotechnology Group of Queensland (HGQ) Committee places the highest priority on the health and safety of its members and conference attendees. We have continued to closely monitor the advice from the Australian Chief Medical Officer and Queensland’s Chief Health Officer along with advice from the Federal and State Governments. Whilst some restrictions are starting to ease, all information points to the social distancing and air travel restrictions likely being in place for some time yet. HGQ are committed to hold the Queensland State Histology Conference in Cairns. However, due to the above restrictions as well as the current economic climate, the Committee has made the decision to postpone this year’s event until 2022 – the conference will now be held on Friday 7 to Sunday 9 October 2022 at Pullman Reef Hotel Casino in Cairns. All bookings paid to date will receive a full refund and the team at Absolute Events & Marketing will be in touch in the coming week to discuss these arrangements. We thank those who were keen to support the conference and look forward to your involvement at the Queensland conference in 2022.
The Histotechnology Group of Queensland committee places the highest priority on the health and safety of HGQ members and guests in the local and wider Histology community. During this challenging and unprecedented period, our focus is to continue to provide professional development and networking opportunities in a safe environment by incorporating expert advice and adhering to directives from global, federal, state and local government and authorities. The committee have embraced a dynamic and innovative approach to the review of the current event schedule and will provide regular updates as they become available. We appreciate the ongoing support from our members, guests, other professional scientific organisations and trade companies during this difficult time. Please stay safe, stay healthy, stay informed & take care of yourself and one another – “Together we can help stop the spread” – Jerres Alcober – HGQ President
