British Division of the International Academy of Pathology

The British Division organises at least two Scientific Meetings each year at which a selected topic is dealt with in some depth. The Division is, in the main, composed of practising Histopathologists and meetings are planned accordingly. A Slide Seminar on previously circulated sections is an integral part of most meetings.

To become a member you require to be nominated and seconded by two members of the Division and subsequently recommended by the Council for election. Members of the Council review applications every three months and you will be contacted following approval.
