Histopathology
The histopathology trainee posts allow trainees to develop skills in line with the Royal College of Pathology curriculum whilst being supported by the cellular pathology department. Learning opportunities and service commitments are dependent on the grade of the trainee. Support is offered from the educational supervisor, who collates feedback from other consultants, meets with the trainee regularly often informally and gives regular feedback.

Induction Booklet
There is a four-weekly rotating specialty timetable. Some flexibility is possible, which should be agreed with other trainees. Regional training days depend on grade and generally occur in various venues in London. There are also week-long block teaching sessions for ST1s, one of which is a national week. Senior trainees are encouraged to self-organise courses for their learning needs as appropriate.
Local formal teaching is aimed to be weekly in the shared pathology department multi-header room, with organisation involving the trainee representative. Timings are flexible but usually Friday noon.
Please see the handbook for further details.
