Marian Malone Memorial
Dublin was voted Europe's fourth most popular city break destination, behind London, Paris and Rome and is one of the friendliest capital cities in the world. Dublin's elegant Georgian architecture makes it one of Europe's most attractive capitals. Dublin is a relatively small and accessible city, small enough and safe enough to get around on foot, while the Luas tram system and the suburban rail system, the DART, provide excellent transport links throughout the city
Marian Malone Memorial Course
Dr Marian Malone died on 16th September 2015. She was Consultant Paediatric Pathologist and honorary Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Child Health at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children between 1986 and 2014. She graduated from University College Dublin in 1977. Her pathology training was at The London Hospital, under Professor Sir Colin Berry, and then at GOSH under Professor Albert Claireaux and Dr (later Prof) Tony Risdon.Following the retirement of Prof Risdon in 2004, Marian became head of Histopathology. She had a special interest in dermatopathology and immunopathology and lectured internationally on histiocytic disorders. Since 2000, she was chair of the Histiocytosis Pathology Reference panel of CCLG, and pathology advisor at the Nikolas Symposium on Langerhans’ cell disease. She was author of over 100 publications, and co-author in 2009 of the textbook Diagnostic Pediatric Surgical Pathology. For 14 years she was a member of the Editorial Board, and European Editor, of the journal Pediatric and Developmental Pathology.
She was a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists and chaired its examiners’ panel in Paediatric Pathology from 2003-8. She was a founder member of both the British an Irish Paediatric Pathology Association and the London Perinatal Pathology Network. She was a national inspector for the laboratory accreditation organization, CPA-UK, and a pathology assessor for the national confidential enquiries into perioperative deaths (CEPOD) and maternal and child deaths (CEMACH). Latterly, she was chair of the UK Children’s Cancer Clinical Reference Group. In recognition of her contribution to children’s health in the UK, she was awarded an honorary Fellowship of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in November 2014.
She embraced the new, without fear of change, but held steadfastly to core principles. She inspired deep affection, and her loss was a hard burden for the many friends and colleagues. In response to the wish of many colleagues that there should be a fitting commemoration of her achievements and in fulfillment of the continuing desire for those in paediatric and perinatal pathology practice for an updates in their specialty, we have organized this Update Course in memory of Marian in her native city.
