Pathologist assistants in a Pathology Department: perceptions of their changing role
Despite initial challenges, recognising the value of Pathologists' Assistants is crucial for effective collaboration and optimal utilisation of their skills. Addressing unresolved issues, such as institutionalising their role and improving academic training, is essential. Creating a community of practice and fostering effective communication and professional development are key to successful integration. Further research and stakeholder collaboration are needed to integrate Pathologists' Assistants into the healthcare system fully.
