Congratulations to the Histopathology and East Genomics team at Cambridge University Hospitals, winners of the Team Award for Sustainability at the RCPath Achievement Awards 2026! A brilliant example of pathology leading the way on sustainability in healthcare.

Their innovative initiative is transforming how molecular tumour samples are handled for whole-genome sequencing across the NHS. This has created a more sustainable, accessible and scalable approach to molecular sample transport.
Importantly, the initiative has improved access to whole-genome sequencing for patients at remote and referring hospitals by allowing samples to be collected and shipped alongside other routine pathology samples.

This practical and measurable project demonstrates how pathology-led innovation can successfully combine environmental sustainability, operational improvement and clear patient benefit.

Thank you to sponsors Source LDPath for supporting this award.

Join us tomorrow, Tuesday 23 June from 13.00 to 14.30 BST, for our final webinar in the 4-part series 'Train the Trainer: Patient Safety and Quality Assurance'.

📅 Register to attend ‘What minimal daily processes can be integrated in histopathology, haematology, chemical pathology and microbiology laboratories, to ensure quality in low-resource settings.’ Register here: https://ow.ly/IQxE50YJWLQ

The webinar series aims to highlight how pathologists and laboratory professionals are integral members of the health management team with essential roles and responsibilities in the maintenance of quality healthcare and patients’ safety. Patient management is dependent on laboratory results and diagnostic assessment, and adverse events can result from laboratory diagnostic errors.

The 2015 Institute of Medicine Report on 'Improving Diagnosis in Healthcare' calls on the diagnostic medical community to hone their tools and skills to better recognise, understand and learn from diagnostic errors. Laboratory medicine should therefore be optimised to guard against medical errors that can significantly affect patient care.

We look forward to welcoming you to our webinars.

On Tuesday, RCPath President, Dr Bernie Croal, gave evidence to The House of Lords Science & Technology Committee as part of their inquiry into 'Personalised medicine & AI'. He highlighted the opportunities these technologies offer for improved patient care, but emphasised the need to invest in the pathology workforce and IT infrastructure, and to ensure pathologists can trust the efficacy of these technologies.
