Insights on how to achieve great cytology results in house, and when to send your patient samples to the laboratory. Our pathologist will be using real life cases and our digital system to show you whole slides, how to pick good areas to review, and how to efficiently make decisions about the cells that you see.

Dr
Philippa McLaren - BVMS (Hons), MVS, MANZCVS, DACVP (Clin Path)
Philippa is the Head of Clinical Pathology ANZ at IDEXX, responsible for overseeing the team of clinical pathologists in both countries and is based in the Melbourne laboratory. After placing first in class in her veterinary degree in Glasgow and following two years in practice in England and Western Australia, Philippa trained initially in anatomic pathology with a masters in pathology from the University of Melbourne before transitioning gradually to clinical pathology, and in 2014 she achieved her ACVP specialist qualification in clinical pathology. She is comfortable providing advice across all fields of pathology, though her particular strengths lie in small animals and exotics. Her interests include liver and spleen cytopathology and haematopathology, and she also has a strong interest in biochemical and endocrine testing and interpretation. She’s also published on a syndrome of chondrodysplastic calves during the last drought, among others. Her particular passion is teaching and sharing knowledge; she is proud to have introduced “consensus rounds” as a regular feature of the IDEXX team’s week for case progression, knowledge sharing and training, and oversees training of our clinical pathology residents. In her spare time Philippa enjoys quality time with her four children and very tolerant cat, and gets out on, in or under the water as often as she can.
