The Royal College of Pathologists is a charity with over 11,000 members worldwide. The majority of members are doctors and scientists working in hospitals and universities in the UK. The College oversees the training of pathologists and scientists working in 19 different specialties, which include cellular pathology, haematology, clinical biochemistry and medical microbiology. Although some pathologists work in laboratories, many work directly with patients in hospitals and the community. Together they are involved in over 70% of all diagnoses, as well as playing an important role in disease prevention, treatment and monitoring. If you have ever had a blood test, cervical smear or tissue biopsy, a pathologist will have been involved in your care.
I was dx with st3c clear cell, aggressive endometrial cancer in aug. 2023 I had a hysterectomy 6 rounds of chemo, 3 radiation and am now on immunotherapy. So far I am doing ok. I am 83. I don't have lynch syndrome. I always have had a weight problem all my life. I have been losing weight and am watching my food intake.
I didnt even know he wasn't actually dead until she said so. I was like "wow they're using a real body, that's impressive esp since she's in good clothes. Plus he's not breathing and his stomach looks caved in a bit like a real stomach would be"
I took these notes 4 myself, but if u dont wanna watch the full video use this if u want: biopsy - tissue extracted for testing. a mass/issue may be discovered, but they aren't certain what it is. biopsy samples are booked in and prioritised if necessary. larger, more complex samples are dealt with by consultants/specialists. smaller tissue samples, like biopsies, are cut up by scientists. all water content is removed from the tissue to make it rigid (under high pressure). hot wax is poured over the tissue to embed and support it. helps to preserve it. the wax block has the tissue inside it, its then sliced into thin sections. (3 microns). slices are put onto slides. the slides are dyed to make them more visible under the microscope. then there is quality control, to make sure the process so far is accurate. good staining, good slices, good sample etc. the consultant then looks at the sample through a microscope to diagnose the disease.
Thank you for this video. I’m wondering if you know what the process would be for a US/Canadian trained surgical/histopathologist to obtain a UK license
Hi there, thank you for your email.

please clarify my doubt, is maths really a needed subject for getting into microbiology im a grade 12 student and i did not opt for maths as my subject except physics, chemistry, and biology
Can an international student with Bsc in Applied Biomedical Scinces with DPP in Pathology from UK uni apply for training? Or you have to be a medical student? Thanks
Hi there, thanks for your query. You need to complete medical school and foundation training to apply for histopathology training. You can find out more here: www.rcpath.org/discover-pathology/careers-in-pathology/careers-in-medicine/become-a-histopathologist.html?.
imagine if when he stood up he tripped and fell and died that would be the most unluicckest thing In the world, this was really interatig and hashelped me so much
I have a polyclonal Tcr, my duodenum flow cemetery showed positivity for cd45, dn cd4, cd56, cd103, positive cd8 and a total absence of cd19. Is the absence of cd19 that lead me to have a seronegative cd? I have been tested several times for iga de deficiency but my values were always around 1,6 despite a total villi atrophy. I hope that I will get some answer 😂🤗
At the end she said “theres a lot of people involved in testing your blood” but failed to mention your phlebotomist who drew it in the first place 😂 I’m a phlebotomist. I was curious what happens afterwards when I send it to the lab
Really interesting. Thr doctor explained it all so well. I wss surprised when she said England & Wales annual deaths is @ 500,000. Out of that figure 45,000 are referred for podt mortems. I find that quite a high number.
