Scottish Pathology Network
Annual Event 2019
Thursday 1st November 2019 09.30 – 16.00 COSLA, 19 Haymarket Yards, Edinburgh, EH12 5BH #SPANSustainability #PathologyCommunity
Welcome We would like to welcome you to The Scottish Pathology Network Annual Event.
Today we will have the opportunity to consider how we, as the Individuals and
Teams providing a Cellular Pathology Service to the people of Scotland, can help
provide a Sustainable service.
We will consider how our service and working practice can best be shaped to
consider environmental sustainability, how we can protect ourselves to ensure that
we have a healthy and sustainable workforce and how we embrace new working
practices and technologies in order to improve the services we provide to the
people of Scotland. We will also consider new and extended roles for our workforce
which will help to sustain the service in the future.
We are fortunate to be part of a discipline which is at the forefront of new
technology, with Digital Pathology and Molecular Diagnostics allowing us to be part
of an exciting era. As we move forward, we must also consider our environmental
impact, our wellbeing and how we shape Cellular Pathology for the workforce of
the future.
Thank you for joining us and I look forward to an exciting and interactive day.

The Scottish Pathology Network (SPAN) has been in existence formally for over ten
years making it the longest established of five national managed diagnostic networks
(NMDNs). In that time there has been significant change in pathology services, from
modernisation of equipment to rationalisation of laboratory sites. SPAN has
supported this, by leading on agreeing a consortium model for cervical cytology labs
which brought them together into collaborative clusters. The network has achieved
a great deal in ensuring excellent intra-Board communications and developing a
Scotland-wide approach.
There are currently ten NHS Boards providing pathology services for the whole of
Scotland.
SPAN was established to improve pathology services by creating and developing a
Scotland-wide National Managed Diagnostic Network, which would: steer
modernisation, including service change and redesign, improve quality, ensure
provision of an effective pathology service which anticipates and responds to user
needs, future requirements, national guidelines and meets laboratory accreditation
standards.
SPAN aims to influence the provision of an innovative, equitable, patient
centered, high quality, and clinically effective Pathology service in Scotland.
About SPAN
“National Pathology Week (NPW) is our annual celebration of pathology, when we
highlight the important contribution pathologists make to healthcare. Working in
partnership with pathologists and laboratory scientists across the UK, our
programme of events and activities aims to engage people of all ages, and improve
public awareness and understanding of how pathologists and scientists diagnose
disease.”

He had planned on continuing on into Immunology, with the Clinical Scientist training programme offered by the NHS being of particular interest. Due to this being extremely competitive and very few places offered within
the UK, he began looking at other options within healthcare science, and decided to pursue a career as a Biomedical Scientist. He began his NHS career as an MLA in the central specimen reception at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in May 2012. He was in this post until January 2013, when he took up the post of a Band 4 Healthcare Scientist Associate Practitioner in the Cellular Pathology Department at FVRH.

Notes
Diagnostic networks are specialty focused networks that adopt a consortia approach in order to inform and drive
the redesign of clinical diagnostic services. NMDNs can be defined as co-ordinated, Scotland-wide groups of
specialty specific health professionals that support diagnostic services to continuously improve service delivery,
and contribute to equitable provision of high-quality, clinically effective services.
