The HSJ Pathology seminar returns this autumn to share critical insights on meeting the challenges faced by commissioners of pathology services.

Taking place in central London on 18 November, the event, in association with Roche, will explore the pressures affecting providers and commissioners in pathology, as well as discussing future courses of action.

How to integrate the pathology latest advances into patient care was a key topic at last year’s event

Sessions will include discussions on how pathology services can be commissioned in a smarter way; how competition works in this market and its impact; how the Transforming Pathology Partnership has progressed, with practical guidance on improvement areas; and the most effective strategies for implementing personalised healthcare.

Delegates will also be able to participate in a Q&A panel debate, chaired by HSJ editor Alastair McLellan.
