We are inviting passionate and dedicated cellular pathologists to help develop and write Best Practice Recommendations (BPRs) for key aspects of cellular pathology. These guidelines serve as critical resources that help practitioners navigate specific clinical situations, ultimately improving patient outcomes. As a volunteer author, you’ll work collaboratively to enhance and refine the following BPRs:
- G132: Provision of intraoperative diagnostic opinions and diagnostic testing on fresh tissue for patients with known infectious diseases.
- G137: Guidance on the inter-departmental dispatch of cellular pathology materials for referral and clinical trials.
Why should I apply?
By becoming an author, you’ll play a direct role in shaping the future of pathology practice. College guidelines are instrumental in setting and elevating standards of care across the field, and your involvement will ensure that these guidelines continue to reflect best practices.
This role also offers valuable opportunities for professional growth. You’ll enhance your own knowledge and broaden your network by collaborating with fellow pathologists from across the UK.
"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
