"I encourage RCPath members to become involved in the updating of our BPR documents. Doing this will benefit the College and its members, as well as providing a way in which members can be introduced to working for and assisting the College in a relatively ‘well-defined’ way. These documents relate to clinical situations within Cellular Pathology that are not uncommonly encountered in routine practice and that are likely therefore to be of significant benefit to departments. I would be very grateful if you would consider becoming involved in this way." – Professor Adrian Bateman, Cellular Pathology SAC Chair
“Taking part in a guideline review was an invaluable learning opportunity. As well as gaining a deeper understanding of the topic and the process, I got the opportunity to influence the guidelines by producing a series of illustrations to make them more accessible to trainees. I also got to work with colleagues from a range of locations and backgrounds. I would really recommend getting involved.” – Dr Erin Whyte
