There is also a poster session to maximise the opportunity to share data and experience.<\/p>\n<p>This is a meeting for Scotland and its clinical microbiology community.\u00a0 Come and learn about WGS and share your experience or ask some of the experts about how this technique could improve your practice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>10:30 \u2013 11:00\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Registration and coffee (Medical school cafe area)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>11:00 \u2013 11:10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Introduction and Welcome \u2013 <strong>Prof Alistair Leanord <\/strong>(University of Glasgow)<\/p>\n<p>11:10\u2013 11:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The real world of microbiology;
