Bulletin

The Bulletin is the College's quarterly professional membership magazine. We cater for the interests of our diverse readership, provoking discussion and comment on topics that range across the 17 specialties of pathology.

The Bulletin is now fully digital, with improved accessibility and more interactive features.

The January Bulletin explores pathology solutions, highlighting the great work by pathologists to meet the healthcare challenges of our time. The issue includes articles on the Pathology Solutions event, held at the House of Commons during National Pathology Week, as well as an update on the College Workforce Strategy. You can also read about innovative solutions in cancer diagnostic pathways, haematopoietic cell transplant inequities and patient safety in blood transfusion.

The January issue also includes articles on the upcoming Presidential election, the College’s online communities and updates from the Scotland Regional Council and our International Committee and advisors. Also included are articles on the Summer School, the Percy Lane Memorial Award winners and reviews of various recent conferences.

In his editorial, Dr Bernie Croal highlights the challenges that face the pathology workforce, and reinforces the critical role that well-funded and well-staffed pathology services can have in solving these challenges. Dr Croal also covers the College’s corporate engagement strategy and our revamped Achievement Awards.
