Thank you Abigail and Ded !


Of all the doctors on the Specialist ( non GP ) Register of the GMC, a minority are pathologists. Most are histopathologists ( 2000+ ) - making clinical diagnoses by microscopy ; with[ rather fewer haematologists – diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders, and transfusion.


There are in fact many specialties within pathology. Apart from the ones listed already, these do include medical virology ; forensic pathology ( the only specialty where post mortems form a large part of workload ) ; paediatric pathology ; neuropathology ; and veterinary pathology ( non medical ).
