The F1 attachments will be in hospitals near to the three academic campuses utilised during F2 – i.e. will be at Barnet General Hospital, Chase Farm Hospital, and North Middlesex Hospital. F2 rotations will be based at University College London Hospitals (UCLH), the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust (RFH) and the Whittington Hospital NHS Trust (WHT). 3.

Trained specialists need both a good working knowledge of applied molecular biology and a clear understanding of viral pathogenesis. Virologists reach out from their laboratory base to interact with clinical colleagues in a wide variety of areas (e.g. organ transplantation, HIV, hepatology, antenatal, infectious diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, occupational health). Randomised controlled clinical trials of antiviral drugs provide the evidence base for or against recommending treatment of a particular infection. The measurement of viral load directly in patient samples provides an objective assessment of response to treatment. Direct sequencing of viral genomes identifies the mechanisms of developing resistance to these antiviral drugs. Trainees will gain experience of recruiting patients into ongoing randomised controlled trials and will see how viral sequencing can monitor the evolution of resistant strains.

This specialty comprises histopathology, which gives the diagnosis and other relevant information on biopsies and surgical resections; cytopathology, which gives the diagnosis on aspirated and other specimens of lesions; and autopsy pathology, which is still of importance in modern medicine. Many specialties rely on pathologists both in everyday practice and in research. These include gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery; hepatology, hepatobiliary surgery, and liver transplantation; nephrology and renal transplantation; urology; neurology and neurosurgery; dermatology and plastic surgery; breast surgery; gynaecology and obstetrics; and haematological oncology. This rotation gives the opportunity for development of a wide range of skills practised in Cellular Pathology, for participation in the many tutorials given to pathologists in training, for helping to teach medical students, and for attendance at various clinicopathological meetings, which emphasise the role of the specialty in clinical management. There are also facilities for research on the great variety of material that is available, in collaboration with pathologists and others, and research will be encouraged and supported.
