Get involved at the College: volunteer roles
We could not function without the dedication of our members and supporters who take up volunteer roles. Our volunteers actively contribute to our collective mission to advance the science and practice of pathology, and to deliver the best patient care possible.
Around 10% of members are involved in our work across a diverse range of activities. Your expertise is vital in supporting the delivery of the College’s key services, from training the next generation of pathologists, to setting the standards of care across the profession and sharing your knowledge as a subject matter expert. Volunteering is also a fantastic way to build up your CPD portfolio with diverse and interesting activities.
To join us, please see below for some of the current opportunities. This list is not exhaustive, so if there is a particular area that you would like to work in, please get in touch with the corresponding team.
You can restrict opportunities by your membership class, location and specialty using the right-hand filter.
