We were delighted that our College President, Dr Bernie Croal, delivered a keynote address at the 5th NHS Pathology Conference on improving NHS Diagnostics. Dr Croal outlined what the main pathology challenges are at government, NHS, Private sector, professional body, pathology provider and patient level and gave some pragmatic thoughts on possible solutions and contingencies.
Dr Croal also joined a panel of national leaders to discuss Pathology Across the UK – Meeting Demand, Building Capacity. The panel explored how the sector is evolving to meet increasing pressures and areas covered included workforce and resource challenges to the opportunities offered by digital transformation, automation, and AI.
