An Introduction to the NHS Histopathology Training Schools

The Schools project was introduced by the NHS Modernisation committee in 2000 to ensure adequate human resources within British Pathology to respond to increasing demands for laboratory services, especially in cancer care.

The Histopathology Trainees appointed annually at ST1 level are taken through a formalised educational programme that equips them for further higher specialist training. To learn more about the work done by a Histopathologist, take a look at a case scenario.

Histopathology encompasses a large range of diagnostic services from many broad based specialities which ensures accurate and timely care of clinical problems.
